It had been one of those real devoted wooings which books and people praise, when the lover is at length rewarded for hammering the iron till it is malleable, and all must be happy ever after as the wedding bells.
Это было то настоящее пылкое поклонение, столь превозносимое и писателями и простыми смертными, когда влюблённый, сумев наконец сделать металл податливым, получает награду за свои труды и вступает в жизнь счастливую, как звон свадебных колоколов.

The nuptials were prepared. There was surprising pomp and magnificence; there were fetes, carousals, continual opera bouffe; and all Italy composed sonnets in my praise, though not one of them was passable.
Все было готово к свадьбе; начались дни торжеств, неслыханно великолепных, — празднества, конные состязания, опера буфф, беспрерывные увеселения; со всех концов Италии я получала сонеты, из которых ни один не был сколько-нибудь сносным.

They were extraordinarily at one, and to say that they never either quarreled or complained is to make the note of praise coarse for their quality of sweetness.
Оба жили очень согласно, и сказать, что они никогда не ссорились и не жаловались друг на друга, значило бы воздать им слишком преувеличенную похвалу за их необычайную кротость.
