Stran 29 - O, my lord, lie not idle: The chiefest action for a man of great spirit, Is never to be out of action. We should think, The soul was never put into the body, Which has so many rare and curious pieces Of mathematical motion, to stand still. Virtue is ever sowing of her seeds : In the trenches for the soldier; in the wakeful study For the scholar; in the furrows of the sea For men of our profession : of all which Arise and spring up honour.

Stran 95 - If it be true, as a writer no less sober in his philosophy than eloquent in his language has lately asserted, that, ' except the blind forces of nature, nothing moves in this world which is not Greek in its origin...
Stran 337 - Rome virtuous women had no place; but Phryne lived again in the person of Imperia, and dignitaries of the Church thought it no shame to parade their preference for Giton.1 In the absence of a Horace or a Juvenal, we have to content ourselves with Bandello and other novelists, and with one precious epistle of Ariosto describing the difficulty of conducting business at the Papal Court except by ways of backstairs influence and antechamber intrigue. To over-estimate the moral corruption of Rome at the...
Stran 278 - In a villa overhanging the towers of Florence, on the steep slope of that lofty hill, crowned by the mother city, the ancient Fiesole, in gardens which Tully might have envied, with Ficino...
Stran 47 - Patient acquisition took the place of proud inventiveness; laborious imitati0n of classical authors suppressed originality of style. The force of mind which in the fourteenth century had produced a Divine Comedy and a Decameron, in the fifteenth was expended upon the interpretation of codices, the settlement of texts, the translation of Greek books into Latin, the study of antiquities, the composition of commentaries, encyclopaedias, dictionaries, ephemerides.
