- first line
- In that pleasant district of merry England which is watered by the river Don, there extended in ancient times a large forest, covering the greater part of the beautiful hills and valleys which lie between Sheffield and the pleasant town of Doncaster. The remains of this extensive wood are still to be seen at the noble seats of Wentworth, of Warncliffe Park, and around Rotherham.
- last line
- With the life of a generous, but rash and romantic monarch, perished all the projects which his ambition and his generosity had formed; to whom may be applied, with a slight alteration, the lines composed by Johnson for Charles of Sweden—His fate was destined to a foreign strand,/A petty fortress and an ‘humble’ hand;/He left the name at which the world grew pale,/To point a moral, or adorn a TALE.

- Away! our journey lies through dell and dingle, Where the blithe fawn trips by its timid mother, Where the broad oak, with intercepting boughs, Chequers the sunbeam in the green-sward alley —Up and away! —for lovely paths are these To tread, when the glad Sun is on his throne Less pleasant, and less safe, when Cynthia’s lamp With doubtful glimmer lights the dreary forest.

«Айве́нго» (англ. Ivanhoe) — один из первых исторических романов. Опубликован в 1819 году как произведение автора «Уэверли» (как позднее выяснилось, Вальтера Скотта). В XIX веке был признан классикой приключенческой литературы. Продажи книги были феноменальными для того времени: первый тираж в 10000 экземпляров был распродан менее чем за две недели. Успех романа способствовал пробуждению романтического интереса к Средним векам (см. Неоготика). «Айвенго» — первый роман Скотта, действие которого происходит за пределами Шотландии. События приурочены к 1194 году — через 128 лет после битвы при Гастингсе, в результате которой англосаксы были покорены норманнами.
