Стр. 71 - Onslow repeats the striking passage in it, " that the usual path to the Temple of Honour had been through the Temple of Virtue ; but by this Bill it was now to be only through the sepulchre of a dead ancestor ; " and adds that in this strain Walpole bore down everything before him.
Стр. 95 - Be it a tear of happiness. It shall be so. The Muse displays The future to her votary's gaze ; Prophetic rage my bosom swells — I taste the cake — I hear the bells !

Стр. 94 - HAIL, day of Music, day of Love, On earth below, in air above. In air the turtle fondly moans, The linnet pipes in joyous tones ; On earth the postman toils along, Bent double by huge bales of song, Where, rich with many a gorgeous dye, Blazes all Cupid's heraldry — Myrtles and roses, doves and sparrows, Love-knots and altars, lamps and arrows. What nymph without wild hopes and fears The double rap this morning hears ? Unnumbered lasses, young and fair, From Bethnal Green to Belgrave Square, With...
Стр. 124 - Interim ex fatalibus libris sacrificia aliquot extraordinaria facta ; inter quae Gallus et Galla, Graecus et Graeca in foro bovario sub terram vivi demissi sunt in locum saxo 25 consaeptum, jam ante hostiis humanis, minime Romano sacro, inhutum.
Стр. 119 - Even, however, should my very disinterested plea for the German Doctor avail anything, I do not mean to imply that I agree to the conclusion at which I suppose he has arrived — namely, that there were human sacrifices throughout the classic times of Rome. I cannot reconcile such a conclusion with the silence of the highest classical authorities. Such writers as Prudentius, Minutius, and Lactantius were prejudiced against Pagan usages, and readily gave credit to unfavourable reports of them.
Стр. 119 - Rome to offer human sacrifices to Jupiter, Cicero could never have uttered these words, ' Quidquam Gallis sanctum ac religiosum videri potest?
