xii. lappuse - While the warm blood bedews my veins, And unimpair'd remembrance reigns, Resentment of my country's fate Within my filial breast shall beat ; And, spite of her insulting foe, My sympathizing verse shall flow : " Mourn, hapless Caledonia, mourn " Thy banish'd peace, thy laurels torn.
xl. lappuse - It is, however, chiefly in his profusion, which amounts almost to prodigality, that we recognize the superior richness of Smollett's fancy. He never shews the least desire to make the most either of a character, or a situation, or an adventure, but throws them together with a carelessness which argues unlimited confidence in his own powers. Fielding pauses to explain the principles of his art, and to congratulate himself and his readers on the felicity with which he constructs his narrative, or makes...
68. lappuse - ... space was allotted for each with his bed and bedding; and deprived of the light of day, as well as of fresh air; breathing nothing but a noisome atmosphere of the morbid steams exhaling from their own excrements and diseased bodies, devoured with vermin hatched in the filth that surrounded them, and destitute of every convenience necessary for people in that helpless condition.
362. lappuse - As for the motto, or what you call it, 1 leave that to you and Mr. Jolter, who are scholars ; but I do desire, that it may not be engraved in the Greek or Latin lingos, and much less in the French, which I abominate, but in plain English, that, when the angel comes to pipe all hands, at the great day, he may know that I am a British man, and speak to me in my mother tongue.
88. lappuse - But the most remarkable parts of his furniture were a mask on his face and white gloves on his hands, which did not seem to be put on with an intention to be pulled off occasionally, but were fixed with a curious ring on the little finger of each hand.
138. lappuse - The best man among the ancients is said to have entertained that passion ; one of the wisest of their legislators has permitted the indulgence of it in his commonwealth ; the most celebrated poets have not scrupled to avow it. At this day it prevails not only over all the...
xxxviii. lappuse - ... attendance as a servant, and beating him when the dice ran against him, is not to be named in one day with the open-hearted, goodhumoured, and noble-minded Tom Jones, whose libertinism (one particular omitted) is perhaps rendered but too amiable by his good qualities. We believe there are few readers who are not disgusted with the miserable reward assigned to Strap in the closing chapter of the novel. Five hundred pounds (scarce the value of the goods he had presented to his master), and the...
xxvii. lappuse - Travels through France and Italy, containing Observations on Character, Customs, Religion, Government, Police, Commerce, Arts, and Antiquities, with a particular Description of the Town, Territory, and Climate of Nice ; to which is added, a Register of the Weather, kept during a Residence of Eighteen Months in that City ; in 2 vols.
64. lappuse - My spirit began to accommodate itself to my beggarly fate, and I became so mean as to go down towards Wapping, with an intention to inquire for an old school-fellow, who, I understood, had got the command of a small coasting vessel, then in the river, and implore his assistance.
xxix. lappuse - Between friends, I am now convinced that my brain was in some measure affected; for I had a kind of coma vigil upon me from April to November without intermission. In consideration of these circumstances, I know you will forgive all my peevishness and discontent ; and tell good Mrs. Moore, to whom I present my cordial respects, that, with regard to me, she has as yet seen nothing but the wrong side of the tapestry.
