Seite 460 - On the evening of the 7th, king Philip, by a courier of don Diego's, received the tidings of St. Bartholomew's night. Hereupon, contrary to his nature and wont, he has shown as much or more joy than at all the good fortune or success he has ever met with. He assembled his whole court, and said that he now saw your majesty was his good brother. The next day I had an audience of the king, when he (who never uses to laugh) began to laugh, displaying the highest delight and the greatest satisfaction....
Seite 260 - Novel-writers and such like, must, in a new generation, gradually do one of two things : either retire into nurseries, and work for children, minors and semifatuous persons of both sexes ; or else, what were far better, sweep their Novelfabric into the dust-cart, and betake them with such faculty as they have to understand and record what is true...
Seite 81 - I have many good friends amongst the Italians, who warn me not to eat and drink with their painters ; and indeed many of these .are my enemies, and copy my things in the churches and wherever they can get at them, and then revile them, and say they are not after the antique fashion, and therefore not good ; but Sambelliny...
