SONNET XLVIII.
TO MRS.* * * *
NO more my wearied soul attempts to stray  From sad reality and vain regret, Nor courts enchanting Fiction to allay  Sorrows that Sense refuses to forget: For of Calamity so long the prey,  Imagination now has lost her powers, Nor will her fairy loom again essay  To dress Affliction in a robe of flowers. But if no more the bowers of Fancy bloom,  Let one superior scene attract my view, Where Heaven's pure rays the sacred spot illume,  Let thy loved hand with palm and amarath strew The mournful path approaching to the tomb, While Faith's consoling voice endears the friendly gloom.

SONNET XX.
TO THE COUNTESS OF A——,
WRITTEN ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF HER MARRIAGE.
ON this blest day may no dark cloud, or shower,  With envious shade the Sun's bright influence hide! But all his rays illume the favour'd hour,  That saw thee, Mary!—Henry's lovely bride!
With years revolving may it still arise,  Blest with each good approving Heaven can send! And still, with ray serene, shall those blue eyes  Enchant the husband, and attach the friend!
For you fair Friendship's amaranth shall blow,  And Love's own thornless roses bind your brow; And when—long hence—to happier worlds you go,  Your beauteous race shall be what you are now! And future Nevills thro' long ages shine, With hearts as good, and forms as fair as thine!

BY THE SAME.
TO THE NORTH STAR.
TO thy bright beams I turn my swimming eyes,  Fair, fav'rite planet! which in happier days Saw my young hopes, ah, faithless hopes!—arise,  And on my passion shed propitious rays! Now nightly wandering 'mid the tempests drear  That howl the woods and rocky steeps among, I love to see thy sudden light appear  Thro' the swift clouds—driven by the wind along: Or in the turbid water, rude and dark,  O'er whose wild stream the gust of Winter raves. Thy trembling light with pleasure still I mark,  Gleam in faint radiance on the foaming waves! So o'er my soul short rays of reason fly, Then fade:—and leave me to despair, and die!

SONNET XV.
FROM PETRARCH.
WHERE the green leaves exclude the summer beam,  And softly bend as balmy breezes blow, And where, with liquid lapse, the lucid stream  Across the fretted rock is heard to flow, Pensive I lay: when she whom earth conceals,  As if still living to my eyes appears, And pitying Heaven her angel form reveals,  To say—'Unhappy Petrarch! dry your tears; 'Ah! why, sad lover! thus before your time,  'In grief and sadness should your life decay, 'And like a blighted flower, your manly prime  'In vain and hopeless sorrow fade away? 'Ah! yield not thus to culpable despair, 'But raise thine eyes to Heaven—and think I wait thee there.'

SONNET XVI.
FROM PETRARCH.
YE vales and woods! fair scenes of happier hours!  Ye feather'd people! tenants of the grove; And you, bright stream! befringed with shrubs and flowers;  Behold my grief, ye witnesses of love!
For ye beheld my infant passion rise,  And saw thro' years unchang'd my faithful flame; Now cold, in dust, the beauteous object lies,  And you, ye conscious scenes, are still the same!
While busy Memory still delights to dwell  On all the charms these bitter tears deplore, And with a trembling hand describes too well  The angel form I shall behold no more! To Heaven she's fled! and nought to me remains But the pale ashes which her urn contains.

SONNET XVII.
FROM THE THIRTEENTH CANTATA OF METASTASIO.
ON thy grey bark, in witness of my flame,  I carve Miranda's cipher——Beauteous tree! Graced with the lovely letters of her name,  Henceforth be sacred to my love and me! Tho' the tall elm, the oak, and darker pine,  With broader arms, may noon's fierce ardors break, To shelter me, and her I love, be thine;  And thine to see her smile and hear her speak. No bird, ill-omen'd, round thy graceful head  Shall clamour harsh, or wave his heavy wing, But fern and flowers arise beneath thy shade.  Where the wild bees their lullabies shall sing. And in thy boughs the murmuring ring-dove rest; And there the nightingale shall build her nest.

SONNET XLVII.
TO FANCY.
THEE, Queen of Shadows!—shall I still invoke,  Still love the scenes thy sportive pencil drew, When on mine eyes the early radiance broke  Which shew'd the beauteous rather than the true! Alas! long since those glowing tints are dead,  And now 'tis thine in darkest hues to dress The spot where pale Experience hangs her head  O'er the sad grave of murder'd Happiness! Thro' thy false medium, then, no longer view'd,  May fancied pain and fancied pleasure fly,  And I, as from me all thy dreams depart, Be to my wayward destiny subdued:  Nor seek perfection with a poet's eye,  Nor suffer anguish with a poet's heart!

# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Claude Alexandre, Comte de Bonneval

See also Claude Alexandre de Bonneval on Wikipedia; the 11th Edition; and the disclaimer.
BONNEVAL, Claude Alexandre, Comte de, a celebrated French adventurer, known also as Achmet Pasha, was the descendant of an old family of Limousin. He was born on the 14th July 1675 at Coussac, and at the age of thirteen joined the Royal Marine Corps. After three years he entered the Guards, whence he was transferred to the infantry regiment of Latour He served in the Italian campaigns under Catinat, Villeroi, and Vendome, and in the Netherlands under Luxembourg, giving proofs of indomitable courage and great military ability. His inso lent bearing towards Chamillard, minister of war, was made matter for a court-martial. He was condemned to death, but having foreseen this sentence, he saved himself by flight to Germany. Through the influence of Prince Eugene he obtained a command in the Austrian army, and fought with great bravery and distinction against France, and afterwards against Turkey. He was severely wounded at Peterwardein, and after his recovery paid a visit to Paris. The proceedings against him in France had been allowed to drop, and he married a daughter of Marshal de Biron, whom, however, he deserted after a wsek or two. HP returned again to the Austrian army, and fought with distinction at Belgrade. He might now have risen to the highest rank, had he not made himself disagreeable to Prince Eugene, who sent him as master of the ordnance to the Low Countries There his ungovernable temper led him into a quarrel with the Marquis de Prie, governor of the Netherlands, who answered his challenge by placing him in confinement. A court-martial was again held upon him, and he was condemned to death ; but the emperor commuted the sentence to one year s imprisonment and banishment from the imperial domains. Bonneval, soon after his release, offered his services to the Turkish Government, professed the Mahometan faith, and took the name of Achmet. He was made a pasha of three tails, and appointed to the command of the artillery. He rendered valuable sevices to the sultan in his war with Russia, and with the famous Kouli Khan. As a reward he received the governorship of Chios, but soon fell under the suspicion of the Porte, and was banished for a time to the shores of the Black Sea. He was meditating a return to Europe and Christianity when he died at Constantinople, 27th March 1 747. The Memoirs published under his name are spurious. (See Prince de Ligne, Memoire snr la Comte de Bonneval, 1817.)
# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Clifton

See also Clifton, Bristol on Wikipedia; Clifton, Bristol, at Wikipedia; Clifton in the 11th Edition; and the disclaimer.
CLIFTON, a watering-place and fashionable resort of England, in the county of Gloucestershire, forming practically a part of the city of Bristol. It is situated on the eastern heights above the gorge of the lower Avon, which divides it from the county of Somerset,—partly occupying a spacious table-land about 250 feet above the sea, and partly an abrupt declivity which sinks down to the once fashionable district of the Hotwells, on the same level as Bristol. Three ancient British earthworks bear witness to an early settlement on the spot, and a church was in existence as far back as the time of Henry II., when it was bestowed by William de Clyfton on the abbot of the Austin canons in Bristol; but, with the exception, perhaps, of Mardyke House, in Hotwells, there are no longer any architectural vestiges of an earlier date than the 18th century. Of the churches the most important are St Andrew's parish church, an ungainly structure rebuilt in 1819; All Saints, erected in 1863 at a cost of 32,000, after the designs of G. E. Street, and remarkable for the width of its nave and the narrowness of its aisles; and the Roman Catholic pro-cathedral church of the Holy Apostles, with a convent and schools attached. Among the other buildings of note may be mentioned the Victoria Rooms, which are used for concerts and other public assemblies, the Fine Arts Academy, dating from 1857, and Clifton College, a well-designed cluster of buildings in the Gothic style, founded in 1862 by a limited liability company, and giving education to 550 boys. The famous suspension bridge across the Avon, designed by Brunel and commenced in 1832, was completed in 1864. It has a span of 702 feet, and the roadway is 245 feet above high water; the total weight of the structure is 1500 tons, and it is calculated to stand a burden of 9 tons per square inch. Since it was opened a village called New Clifton has grown up on the opposite bank. The once famous hot springs of Clifton, to which, in fact, the town was indebted for its rise, are no longer frequented. They issue from an aperture at the foot of St Vincent's Rock, and the water has a temperature of about 76° Fahr. The population of Clifton in 1712, the date of the second edition of Sir Thomas Alleyne's work on Gloucester, was only 450; in 1841 it amounted to 14,177; in 1857 to 17,634; in 1861 to 21,375; and in 1871 to 26,364. In the last-mentioned year there were 10,319 males and 16,045 females. The average annual mortality is about 14 per 1000.
# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Claude Goudimel

See also Claude Goudimel on Wikipedia; Claude Goudimel on Wikipedia, Goudimel in the 11th edition; and the disclaimer.
​GOUDIMEL, Claude, composer of the 16th century, must be named amongst the founders of modern music. The French and the Belgians claim him as their country man, and the place of his birth is not sufficiently established. In all probability, however, he was born at Vaison near Avignon, about the year 1510. As to his early education we know little or nothing, but the excellent Latin in which some of his letters were written prove that, in addition to his musical knowledge, he also acquired a good classicnl training. In 1540 we find him established in Rome at the head of a music-school, and here, amongst many other cele brated musicians, Palestrina, the greatest master of the early Italian school, and one of the greatest masters of all schools, was amongst his pupils. About the middle of the century he seems to have left Rome for Paris, where, in con junction with Jean Duchemin, he published, in 1555, a setting of Horace s Odes, entitled, Horatii Flacci odce omnes quolquoi carminum generibus differunt ad rhythmos mvsicos redacice. Infinitely more important is another collection of vocal pieces, a setting of the celebrated French version of the Psalms by Marot and Beza (Les Psanmes de David, mis en rime Fraryaise par Clement Marot et Theodore de Beze, mis en musique par Claude Goudimet), published in 1565. It is written in four parts, the melody being assigned to the tenor. Some of the tunes were probably of popular origin, and they are still used by the French Protestant Church. Others were adopted by the German ​Lutherans, a German imitation of the French versions of the Psalms im the same metres having been published at an early date. There is little doubt that, at the time of the last-named composition, Goudimel had em braced the new faith, although the French version of the Psalms was at first used by Catholics as well as Protestants. Seven years later he fell a victim to religious fanaticism during the St Bartholomew massacres at Lyons (24th August 1572), his death, it is stated, being due to " les ennemis de la gloire de Dieu et quelques me chants envieux de 1 honneur qu il avait acquis." In addition to the collec tions already named, many of his works are preserved. Masses and motets belonging to his Roman period are found in the Vatican library, and in the archives of various churches in Rome; others were published. Thus the work entitled Jfissce tres a Claudio Goudimel prcestan-, tissimo mwsico auctore, mine primum in lucem edit&lt;x, contains one mass by the learned editor himself, the other two being by Claudius Sermisy and Jean Maillard respectively. Another collection, La jleur des chansons des deux plus excellens musiciens de nostre temps, consists of part songs by Goudimel and Orlando di Lasso. Burney gives a motet of GoudimePs, Domine quid multiplicati sunt, in his history.

​GOUJET, Claude Pierre (1697-1767), a French abbe" and litterateur, was born at Paris, 19th October 1697. He studied at the college of the Jesuits, and at the College Mazarin, but he nevertheless became a strong Jansenist. In 1705 he assumed the ecclesiastical habit, in 1719 entered the order of Oratorians, and soon afterwards was named canon of St Jacques 1 Hopital. On account of his ex treme Jansenist opinions he suffered considerable persecu tion from the Jesuits, and several of his works were sup pressed at their instigation. In his latter years his health began to fail, and he lost his eyesight. As he received little remuneration for his writings, he came also to be in circumstances of great poverty, and was compelled to sell his library, a sacrifice which hastened his death, which took place at Paris, 1st February 1767.
He is the author of a large number of works, of which the prin cipal are: Supplement au Dictionnaire de Mor6ri, Paris, 1735, and a Nouveau Supplement to a subsequent edition of the work; Biblio- theque franc,aise, ou Histoire litter air e de la France, 18 vols. , Paris, 1740-1759; Vies des Saints, 7 vols. , 1730; Memoircs historiques ct litteraires sur le College royal de France, 3 vols., Paris, 1758 ; His toire des Inquisitions, Paris, 1752 ; and an edition of the Diction naire, of which he has also given an abridgment.

​AUDOUIN, JEAN VICTOR, a distinguished French entomologist, was born at Paris, April 27, 1797. He began the study of law, but was diverted from it by his strong predilection for natural history, which subsequently led him to enter the medical profession. In 1824 he was appointed assistant to Latreille in the entomological chair at the Paris museum of natural history, and succeeded him in 1833. He established in 1824, in conjunction with Dumas and Adolphe Brongniart, the Annales des Sciences Naturelles, to which he made numerous valuable contribu tions, generally in co-operation with M. Milne-Edwards. The greater part of his other papers are contained in the Transactions of the Entomological Society, of which he was one of the founders, and for many years president. In 1838 he became a member of the Academy of Sciences. He died in 1841, more from the effects of mental than of bodily exhaustion. His principal work, Histoire des Insectes nuisibles a la Vigne, was continued after his death by Milne-Edwards and Blanchard, and published in 1842.

See also Jean-Jacques Burlamaqui on Wikipedia; the 11th edition; and the disclaimer.
BURLAMAQUI, Jean Jacques (1694–1748), a celebrated writer on natural law, was born at Geneva on the 24th June 1694. He received a careful education, and while passing through his university course devoted himself with such success to the study of ethics and law of nature, that at the age of twenty-five he was designated honorary professor. Before taking possession of his chair he travelled through France and England, and made the acquaintance of the most eminent writers of the period. On his return he began his lectures, and soon gained a wide reputation, from the simplicity of his style and the precision of his views. He continued to lecture for fifteen years, when he was compelled to resign from ill-health. His fellow-citizens at once elected him a member of the council of state, and he gained as high a reputation for his practical sagacity as he had for his theoretical knowledge. He died at Geneva on the 3d April 1748. His works were Principes du Droit Naturel, 1747, and Principes du Droit Politique, 1751. These have passed through many editions, and were very extensively used as text-books. The most convenient collected edition is that by Dupin, in 5 vols., 1820. Burlamaqui's style is simple and clear, and his arrangement of the material good. His fundamental principle may be described as rational utilitarianism, and it in many ways resembles that of Cumberland.
