Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lord Byron and Some of His Contemporaries, Vol. 2 of 2: With Recollections of the Author´s Life, and of His Visit to Italy The wine flowed merrily and long; the discourse kept pace with it; and next morning, in returning to town, we felt ourselves very thirsty. A pump by the road side, with a plash round it, was a bewitching sight. Dubois was one of those wits, who, like the celebrated Eachard, have no faculty of gravity. His handsome hawk´s-eyes looked blank at a speculation; but set a joke or a piece of raillery in motion, and they sparkled with wit and malice. Nothing could be more trite or commonplace than his serious observations. Acquiescences they should rather have been called; for he seldom ventured upon a gravity, but in echo of another´s remark. If he did, it was in defence of orthodoxy; of which he was a great advocate. But his quips and cranks were infinite. He was also an excellent scholar. He, Dr. King, and Eachard, would have made a capital trio over a table, for scholarship, mirth, drinking, and religion.
