TROM NAWINSX'S EXCURSION TO TIII NIONLANDS

AND LAKES.

"The castle, as well as the city of Warwick, is of
such antiquity, a% to render it doubtful whether it
were net built before the invasion of the Romans.

"The mansion was at thistimepreparedfor the re-
ception of its noble proprietor, and had a most com-
fortable appearance. Here we were shewn the two
handed sword of the famous Guy, Earl of Warwick,
with his spear and porridge pot, and the slipper of
his peerless Phillis, for whose sake were performed
all those wonderful atchievements, which once ex-
cited the admiration of a credulous, but gallant and
Martial people.
" The distant and reverential politeness. and the
inviolable fidelity, which chivalry required from
knights-errant toward their mistresses, have given
an importance to the fair sex in civilised Europe,
which they never obtained amongst barbarians;
have associated them as the consorts of men's lives,
as well as of their beds, and the sharers of their ex-
istence, instead of being the subjeas of their despo-
tism, the sports of their lust, and the instruments of
their labour; and have produced sentiments and af-
feftions so delicate and lasting, as to have rendered
them in general estimation the most faithful com-
panions and comforters of an otherwise cheerless life.
"The garden and pleasure grounds are rather too
much confined. The grounds sloping towards the
Avon, the ruins of the old bridge, and the elegant
new one, with the luxuriant verdure and noble trees
around, gave a beauty and r ichness to the landscape,
rarely to be equalled.
" We were much pleased with the magnificence
and beauty of the antique Bacchanalian vase, of
Parian marble, placed in the centre of the green-
house, raised upon a modern square pedestal.—
This incomparable model of pristine ingenuity.
found buried, broken, and dispersed, amongst the
ruins of that once extensive emporium of arts, Adri-
an's Villa, was carefully restored, and transmitted
into this country, by the late Sir William Hamilton,
to his nephew, the present Lord Warwick. This,
and one in the possession of the Duke of Bedford,
at Woburn Abbey, are the only complete vases
of equal dimensions extant, and are esteemed
the finest specimens of the kind ever discovered.
The latter, though not so finely decorated, cost the
late Duke 700 guineas. When the successor of the
Emperor Trajan was marching on foot and bare-
headed, over the snows of Caledonia, he little ima-
gined that, even in the vicissitudes of time, her fu-
ture sons would be so refined, as anxiously to coiled
on the banks of the Tiber, monuments of the departed
grandeur of the " eternal city."

" Front these falls we proceeded towards the Lakes
in Cumberland. The road is altogether uninterest-
ing. The Clyde flows almost the whole way by the
way-side, but is nearly without banks, and every
where a shallow, contemptible stream. Its sprightly
aetivity disappears, it no longer winds through
groves, or along a diversified channel ; it glitters
not in the sun, nor sparkles amongst overhanging
leaves ; it does not even arrest the attention of the
traveller, hut becomes an °Neel pf naked desolation.
But this is only the infancy of the Clyde, whose
course may be compared to that of human life. In
childhood man is feeble ; with his years his strength
increases. and he gives the promise of mighty pow-
ers; then comes the meridian of life, when hurried
by impetuous passions, and roused by war or the
chace, he rushes through woods and down precipices
with irresistible impetuosity. But anon his spirits
begin to Bag. and his aetivity slackens ; he moves
with leaden pace, bending towards the grave, his
body dull and heavy, " fashioned for the journey ;"
and finally, he is swallowed up in the ocean of eter-
nity. So it is with the Clyde ; here it rises, silently
and weakly creeping forward ; in its progress
" swollen with many a tributary tide," it glories in
its wild career, through forests and over rocks and
down the sublimest steeps ; then does its force abate,
and it moves with lessened aetivity by Glasgow,
Dunbarten, and Greenock, till it is lost in the
boundless deep !"
