Isolda is now going to extinguish the torch, as a signal to Tristan that he may approach. Brangaena protests, and warns Isolda against Melot, who has arranged this night hunt as a trap to catch Tristan; and she bewails the officiousness which led her to substitute the love-philtre for the poison. The rest of the scene may be passed over. Of course, Isolda prevails.
No enemy of sleep is deadlier than a dear, good, affectionate dog, whose owners next door have accidentally shut him out. The whole night long he bewails his loneliness, in accents charged with profound melancholy. The author of the "Amusement Philosophique" would have us believe that animals can speak.
Indeed in this he only followed his young friend Bion, whose death he so beautifully bewails, and from whose poems he generously owns that he learned so much. It may be as well to add that the lines in which he says that Theocritus, who had been dead above one hundred years, joined with him in his sorrow for the death of Bion are later additions not found in the early manuscripts of his poems.
He bewails those whose blood is shed because they were devoted to the false doctrine of the priests of Baal; and-he calls us both the king's blood-hounds." "Well, then," cried Gardiner with an uneasy, dismal smile, "we will show him that he has called us by the right name; we will rend him in pieces!"
The chorus bewails Electra, now left utterly desolate. Orestes returns with Pylades and several servants bearing an urn with the pretended ashes of the deceased youth.
Certainly a very different picture is presented by the dismal letters which Fritz sent home during the great Ypres offensive of August, 1917. In these letters he bewails the fact that one after another of his batteries is put out of action owing to the perfect "spotting" of the British airmen, and arrives at the sad conclusion that Germany has lost her superiority in the air.
For this reason, Cotton Mather was the special object of resentment. No wonder that he sometimes bewails, and sometimes berates, the storm of angry passions raging around. A very bitter feeling pervaded the country, grounded on the conviction that there was "a respect to persons," and a connivance, in behalf of some, by those managing the affair.
One thing at any rate is left to me, as you know my keen eyes; and they did not fail me when you two looked at each other as the starling cried, 'My strength! Ay, the bird is in the right when he bewails what was once so great and is now a mere laughing-stock.
Neither did his interest, which was by no means inconsiderable, nor his general popularity, procure him the preferment he desired. A constant attendant at court, he had the mortification to see every one promoted but himself, and thus bewails his ill-luck. Places, I found, were daily given away, And yet no friendly gazette mentioned Gay.
Man takes the good in his life for granted, while he bewails the presence of evil in all its forms.
