But Jackson, he was wide awake, And was not scared at trifles, For well he knew Kentucky's boys, With their death-dealing rifles. He led them down to cypress swamp, The ground was low and mucky, There stood John Bull in martial pomp, And here stood old Kentucky. "Oh! Kentucky, the hunters of Kentucky!"
There is no known antidote nothing could have saved that port, nor most of Africa and most of India and there was no way for the world to know from whence came the death-dealing submarine except that it be the mighty America.
Go farther: a case of toys: harmless trifles enough, arrests you cannon a finger long, batteries the size of a lady's spool-stand, but the reduced models of death-dealing engines whose power of wholesale slaughter may one day revolutionize the codes of nations and abolish warfare.

We are creatures of voluntary habits, as well as involuntary ones, and habitual discontent and discouragement, gnawing at one's vitals are truly death-dealing.
Their swords clashed so that the noise of the fountain was drowned; they fought so eagerly that they were not even aware of the storm.
