Alone it hangs Over a mouldering heir-loom, its companion, An oaken chest, half eaten by the worm, But richly carved by Antony of Trent, With Scripture stories from the life of Christ.

She was no longer the timid heart-stricken girl whom I had known under her father's roof, but the magnanimous wife, resolute even to death to succour her husband.

109 ページ - Scripture stories from the life of Christ,— A chest that came from Venice, and had held The ducal robes of some old ancestor, That, by the way — it may be true or false — But don't forget the picture ; and you will not When you have heard the tale they told me there. She was an only child, — her name Ginevra, The joy, the pride, of an indulgent father ; And in her fifteenth year became a bride, Marrying an only son, Francesco Doria, Her playmate from her birth, and her first love. Just as...

The hotel was a heavy grotesque pile, by far too large for the purpose to which it was at present devoted. It had been the chateau of the seigneur of the village under the old regime, and a prison during the horrid alternation of the revolution.
