"Methinks I hear The sound of feet: No; 'twas the wind that shook yon cypress boughs." ] [Footnote 92: Mr. Dryden seems to have had this passage in his eye in the first page of Love Triumphant.] [Footnote 93: Don Carlos, in the Revenge, suns himself in the charms of his mistress: "While in the lustre of her charms I lay." ] [Footnote 94: A tragical phrase much in use.] [Footnote 95: This speech hath been taken to pieces by several tragical authors, who seem to have rifled it, and share its beauties among them: "My soul waits at the portal of thy breast, To ravish from thy lips the welcome news."--"Anna Bullen." "My soul stands list'ning at my ears."--"Cyrus the Great." "Love to his tune my jarring heart would bring, But reason overwinds, and cracks the string."--"D. of Guise." "I should have loved Though Jove, in muttering thunder, had forbid it."--"New Sophonisba." "And when it (_my heart_) wild resolves to love no more, Then is the triumph of excessive love."--_Ibid._ ] [Footnote 96: Massinissa is one-fourth less happy than Tom Thumb. "Oh! happy, happy, happy!"--_Ibid._ ] [Footnote 97: "No by myseif."--"Anna Bullen." ] [Footnote 98: "Who caused This dreadful revolution in my fate, Ulamar. Who but a dog--who but a dog?"--"Liberty As." ] [Footnote 99: "A bride, Who twenty years lay loving by your side."--Banks. ] [Footnote 100: "For, borne upon a cloud, from high I'll fall, And rain down royal vengeance on you all."--"Alb. Queens." ] [Footnote 101: An information very like this we have in the tragedy of Love, where Cyrus, having stormed in the most violent manner, Cyaxares observes very calmly, "Why, nephew Cyrus, you are moved?"] [Footnote 102: "'Tis in your choice. Love me, or love me not."--"Conquest of Granada." ] [Footnote 103: There is not one beauty in this charming speech but what hath been borrow'd by almost every tragic writer.] [Footnote 104: Mr. Banks has (I wish I could not say too servilely) imitated this of Grizzle in his Earl of Essex: "Where art thou, Essex," &c. ] [Footnote 105: The Countess of Nottingham, in the Earl of Essex, is apparently acquainted with Dollallolla.] [Footnote 106: Grizzle was not probably possessed of that glue of which Mr. Banks speaks in his Cyrus: "I'll glue my ears to every word." ] [Footnote 107: "Screech-owls, dark ravens, and amphibious monsters, Are screaming in that voice."--"Mary Queen of Scots." ] [Footnote 108: The reader may see all the beauties of this speech in a late ode, called the "Naval Lyrick."]
