Index | pg. 22 |Previous Page - Next Page The reader will note ...The reader will note the allegory or not, as he pleases. It is a very good allegory; but allegory, by the due process of enchantment, becomes matter of fact; and it is pleasant to take it as such.][Footnote 4: "Re Galagron, il maledetto cane"] [Footnote 5: The lions in the shield of England were leopards in the "olden time," and it is understood, I believe, ought still to be so,--as Napoleon, with an invidious pedantry, once permitted himself to be angry enough to inform us.] [Footnote 6: The character of Astolfo, the germ of which is in our own ancient British romances, appears to have been completed by the lively invention of Boiardo, and is a curious epitome of almost all which has been discerned in the travelled Englishmen by the envy of poorer and the wit of livelier foreigners. He has the handsomeness and ostentation of a Buckingham, the wealth of a Beckford, the generosity of a Carlisle, the invincible pretensions of a Crichton, the self-commitals and bravery of a Digby, the lucklessness of a Stuart, and the _nonchalance_ "under difficulties" of "_Milord What-then_" in Voltaire's _Princess of Babylon_, where the noble traveller is discovered philosophically reading the news-paper in his carriage after it was overturned. English beauty, ever since the days of Pope Gregory, with his pun about Angles and Angels, has been greatly admired in the south of Europe--not a little, perhaps, on account of the general fairness of its complexion. I once heard a fair-faced English gentleman, who would have been thought rather effeminate looking at home, called an "Angel" by a lady in Genoa.] [Footnote 7: Index | pg. 22 |Previous Page - Next Page Italy Hotels - Italy Hostels - Italy Sights ................................................................
