Sayfa 285 - O è preparazion, che nell' abisso Del tuo consiglio fai, per alcun bene, In tutto dall' accorger nostro scisso? Chè le terre d' Italia tutte piene Son di tiranni, ed un Marcel diventa Ogni villan che parteggiando viene.
Sayfa 326 - Quant' e bella giovinezza, Che si fugge tuttavia ! Chi vuol esser lieto sia ; Di doman non c'e certezza."* Nello was as easily awaked as a bird.
Sayfa 169 - ... increase. When the Sicilians rose in rebellion his sympathies were all with them. Unhappily the society and advice of old age came in to the aid of his juvenile indiscretion : Lord Minto in the course of his roving and (in part) illegal commission arrived at Naples, after having fraternized with the liberals all through Italy, and (metaphorically at least) hoisted the black flag in the front of well nigh every royal palace in the peninsula. But there is scarcely any metaphor in saying that Lord...
Sayfa 170 - Ferdinand or in his precipitate flight with his whole family, in plunder, massacre, anarchy for the city of Naples, and a long and bloody civil war for the kingdom ! Lord Napier made his house a place of rendezvous for all the fiery young men of the Neapolitan society, and himself the centre of a political faction ; he collected all his intelligence from these sources ; he would apply to none others ; he avoided the men of the moderate party ; he turned the cold shoulder on gentlemen with whom he...

Among these are throngs of political refugees, unfortunate reformers, or baulked revolutionists, and great has always been the trouble of their respective ministers and consuls to keep peace among them.

Sayfa 170 - Neapolitan society, and himself the centre of a political political faction; he collected all his intelligence from these sources; he would apply to none others ; he avoided the men of the moderate party ; he turned the cold shoulder on gentlemen with whom he had been intimate because they accepted office under the King— because they became constitutional ministers of the crown. If he did not himself indulge in an indecent licence of language against these ministers and the King, he allowed such...
Sayfa 60 - Government, and their choice fell at last, on the llth of July, upon the Duke of Genoa, second son of Charles Albert, King of Sardinia. The young Prince had shown both courage and capacity in the campaign in Lombardy. The following are the terms of the decree whereby the Sicilian Parliament invited him to take possession of the throne : — " Art. 1. The Duke of Genoa, second son of the present King of Sardinia, and his posterity...
Sayfa 10 - Nono !' and under that line, in still more gigantic letters, ' Pio ix. Pontifex max. et opt.' Such as'it was, the pope's nuncio went through it, or under it ; and bad as it was in taste, and unfair as a distribution of honour to a diplomatic man, Monsignore Ferrieri might flatte r himself that he — the first envoy from the Pope of Rome to the Sultan of Turkey — had received more honour, or semblance of honour, than had been paid to any the most distinguished representative of the greatest power...
Sayfa 18 - ... at Constantinople. When the news of the French Revolution reached the city of the Sultan, beards and hats seem to have been at a premium. Our author writes : — " To shave or to touch any part of one's face with a razor, was considered a certain sign of monarchical and aristocratical tendencies. Political opinions were also strongly pronounced in hats. The Liberals sported hats of all manner of shapes, the favourite colour being white or drab, for the most part decorated with tricolor ribbons...
Sayfa 170 - ... the moderate party ; he turned the cold shoulder on gentlemen with whom he had been intimate because they accepted office under the King— because they became constitutional ministers of the crown. If he did not himself indulge in an indecent licence of language against these ministers and the King, he allowed such language to be used in his presence. " La bestia ! " (the beast) was about the mildest epithet applied to Ferdinand by Lord Napier's associates.
