"Lonely Sylvander, thou shalt sing no more In this Art's palace, where thy voice did ban, Loudly, the firm-set prejudice of yore And made the world talk of the rights of man."--T. [10] _Ode sur la mort de S. A. S. Mme. la princesse de Bareith_, 91-94: "From philosophie heights, free from all strife, Thy pity contemplated, with calm eyes, The changing phantoms of the dreams of life: So many a dream or plan in ruin lies."--T. [11] Mathew Laensberg (_fl._ 17th Century) was supposed to be the author of the famous _Almanack de Liège_, called by his name and first published in 1636, containing prognostications in the manner of the modern _Zadkiel_ or _Old Moore._--T. [12] The Comte de Toumon (_cf._ Vol. V., p. 258, n. 1) was appointed Intendant of Bayreuth by Napoleon before being moved to Rome, as Prefect, in 1809.--T. [13] ARISTOPHANES.--_Author's Note._ [14] VOLTAIRE: _Stances à madame la marquise Du Châtelet_, 29-36: "I followed her, but wept that now I could not follow others as well." The poet is able to continue the pursuit of friendship, but must abandon that of love.--T. [15] Jean Louis Eugène Lerminier (1803-1857), a liberal professor and journalist. He had published, on the 15th of October 1832, an article in the _Revue des Deux-Mondes_, entitled, _De l'Opinion légitimiste: M. de Chateaubriand_, to which the author of the Memoirs alludes above.--B. [16] BÉRANGER: _La Vivandière_, 1-7, not quite correctly quoted. In the original, the _vivandière_ is called "Catin:" Chateaubriand substitutes "Javotte," a favourite name for an inn-servant in France, and alters the last lines so as to avoid the rhyme to "Catin" at the end. To attempt a rough translation: "I'm the vivandière so gay, Javotte I'm called: that's handy; I sell, I drink, I give away My wine, my rum, my brandy. I'm light of foot and I give a wink, Chink chink, chink chink, chink chink, chink chink, Clink, clink, chink."--T. [17] Isabel, or Isabeau of Bavaria, Queen of France (_d._ 1435), married in 1385 to Charles VI. She obtained the Regency when the King became demented in 1392, favoured the enemies of France and, in 1420, concluded the Treaty of Troyes, which placed the crown on the head of Henry V. of England.--T. [18] _Cf._ Vol. III., p. 91, n. 3. Berthier was watching a Russian regiment pass under his windows, on its way to the French frontier, when he was seized with a sudden fit of madness and jumped from the balcony to the pavement below (1 June 1815).--T. [19] _Andria_, Act. I. Sc. i. 44.45.--T.
