Preserve my life, and I shall be, to late posterity, a monument of Roman clemency.
Side 676 - Aroused by Gelert's dying yell, Some slumberer wakened nigh : What words the parent's joy can tell To hear his infant cry ! Concealed beneath a mangled heap His hurried search had missed, All glowing from his rosy sleep, His cherub boy he kissed.
Side 676 - Lay a great wolf, all torn and dead, Tremendous still in death. Ah, what was then Llewellyn's pain ! For now the truth was clear : The gallant hound the wolf had slain, To save Llewellyn's heir.
Side 730 - This city was of undoubted antiquity, and handsomely built of masonry, with courses of bricks, by the Romans. Many vestiges of its former splendour may yet be seen; immense palaces formerly ornamented with gilded roofs, in imitation of Roman magnificence, inasmuch as...
Side 543 - severall religious houses," which met with severe treatment from " the rude hands of that Welshman," as Shakspeare has it, Owen Glyndwr. Bishop Tanner (Not. Man.) describes them as "[i] a goodly priory, founded by Robert, first Earl of Gloucester; [2] a priory of black monks, or Benedictines; [3] a house of black friars in Crockerton Street; [4] a house of grey friars, dedicated to Saint Francis, under the custody or wardship of Bristol; and also [5] a house of white friars."
