eulogium

noun

1. A eulogy.

   “Oh, wonderful poet, thou shalt be immortal, if my eulogiums can make thee so!”

   “Her eulogium on Rousseau was accidentally put into my hands, and her sentiments, the sentiments of too many of her sex, may serve as the text for a few comments.”

   “Let the grave close over the hand that has laboured through feverish midnights,—over the warm heart that beat so painfully; let the ear be closed to that applause which was its sweetest music;—and then how lavish we grow of all that was before so harshly denied! Then the marble is carved with eulogium; then the life is written; and thousands are lavish of pity and sympathy: every thing is given when it is too late to give anything!”

   “--and you have been weak enough, traitor, to listen to the eulogiums of a nurse on her child!"”
