Heroes themselves had fallen behind! --Whene'er he went before.

The king himself has follow'd her When she has walk'd before.

I love everything that's old, - old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wine

They say women and music should never be dated

The very pink of perfection.

Aromatic plants bestow no spicy fragrance while they grow; but crush'd or trodden to the ground, diffuse their balmy sweets around.
