Excerpt from The Posthumous Dramatick Works of the Late Richard Cumberland, Esq., Vol. 2 of 2 Night. The Entrance of a Prison. Augusta enters, attended by Sameas, with a Guard bearing Torches. Aug. Advance your torches to the dungeon's mouth - And is it here my beauteous rival dwells? Is it within these melancholy walls That Mariamne, Herod's matchless queen, Once the bright wonder of the gazing world, Ambition's victim, now despairing pines? Sam. Such was the will of Herod, and, though dead, Yet, whilst his stern decree; stands unrevok'd, Here she must dwell, nor view the light of heaven, Till mercy beams upon her. Aug. I would see How gracefully the heroine wears her chains: Twice seven long years she triumph'd on my throne. I would fain see, if those all-conquering eyes, Whose fires extinguish'd mine, maintain their lustre. Sam. Is this a triumph worthy of Augusta? What joy can it reflect on Judah's queen To mark the faded cheek, the languid eye. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Princess of Cleves, Vol. 2 After the funeral the constable went to the Louvre, but met with a cold reception from the king. He desired to speak with the king in private; but the king called the Guises and told him in their presence that he advised him to seek retirement, that the treasury and the command of the army were already disposed of, and that whenever he might need his counsels he should sum mon him. The queen-dowager received him even more coldly than the king; she went so far as to remind him of his insulting remark to the late king about his children not looking like him.

Excerpt from My Uncle the Curate, Vol. 2 of 3: A Novel On arriving at the ruins, it suddenly oc curred to him to make a short halt and search them, not with the idea of catching the villains themselves who had perpetrated the robbery, but because he thought it just possible that they might have inadvertently left a weapon, an article of dress, or something of the kind behind them, which might prove hereafter an important link in a chain of circumstantial evidence. These ruins (whatever their story was) afforded not only a picturesque object to the landscape-painter, but a most convenient am bush to highwaymen they stood within a few yards of the road, and their extent and intricacy were such, that miscreants familiar with them might use them with the greatest confidence, either for personal concealment.
