While life was still fluttering at the heart of Salvator, the officiating priest of the day arrived, bearing with him the holy apparatus of the last mysterious ceremony of the church. The shoulders of Salvator were laid bare, and anointed with the consecrated oil ; some prayed fervently, others wept, and all even still hoped ; but the taper which the Doctor Catanni held to the lips of Salvator, while the Viaticum was administered, burned brightly and steadily !

But it was obvious to all, that as the seven vials were emptied, the disorder of Rosa increased ; and on the seventh day of his attendance, the doctor declared to his friend Baldovini, that the malady of his patient was beyond his reach and skill. ' The friends of Salvator now suggested to him their belief that his disease was brought on and kept up by his rigid confinement to the house, so opposed to his former active...
Página 112 - Pincio, to which lie confined his evening walks, never failed to produce a general sensation, and to draw all the professed disciples of the far niente from the embowering shades of the gardens of the Villa Medici. " The Monte Pincio was then, as now, the fashionable passeggio, or lounge, of Rome...
Página 112 - Pincio was then, as now, the fashionable passeggio, or lounge, of Rome ; but, at a period when every nation, class, and profession still preserved its characteristic costume, the Roman Mall exhibited many such fantastic groupings as, in modern times, might furnish the genius of masquerade with models equally striking and picturesque. Among the strolling parties of monks and friars, cardinals and prelates, Roman princesses and English peers, Spanish grandees and French cavaliers, which then crowded...
