Whereat amaz'd, They could not speak, but at each other gaz'd. Then Joseph said, Come near, I pray, behold, I am your brother Joseph whom ye sold To Egypt, be not grieved now therefore, Nor vex yourselves, for God sent me before To save life; for these two years there hath been A famine, and five more to come, wherein Seed time nor harvest shall at all be seen.
We need not follow in detail his voyage; it will suffice to say that on his arrival, after a long parley with the maiden daughter of Tuoni, the king of the island, beer was brought to him in a two-eared tankard. "Wäinämöinen, old and trusty, Gaz'd awhile upon the tankard; Lo! within it frogs were spawning, Worms about its sides were laying.

Sir Fopling Flutter is the hero of Etheredge's masterpiece, The Man of Mode; or, Sir Fopling Flutter . Sir Fopling, a portrait of Beau Hewitt, became proverbial. The role was created by Smith.
Alas I know not its strength, I never tried it yet; and this will be the first time it has ever been expos'd to your power; the first time I ever had courage to meet you as a lover, and let you in by stealth, and put myself unguarded into your hands: oh I die with the apprehension of approaching danger! and yet I have not power to retreat; I must on, love compels me, love holds me fast; the smiling flatterer promises a thousand joys, a thousand ravishing minutes of delight; all innocent and harmless as his mother's doves; but oh they bill and kiss, and do a thousand things I must forbid Philander; for I have often heard him say with sighs, that his complexion render'd him less capable of the soft play of love, than any other lover: I have seen him fly my very touches, yet swear they were the greatest joy on earth; I tempt him even with my looks from virtue: and when I ask the cause, or cry he is cold, he vows 'tis because he dares not endure my temptations; says his blood runs hotter and fiercer in his veins than any other's does; nor have the oft repeated joys reaped in the marriage bed, any thing abated that which he wish'd, but he fear'd would ruin me: thus, thus whole days we have sat and gaz'd, and sigh'd; but durst not trust our virtues with fond dalliance.
At first she laugh'd, but gaz'd the while, And soon it lessen'd to a Smile; Thence to surprize and wonder came, Her Breast to heave, her Heart to flame; Then cry'd she out, Ah, now I prove Thou art a God, Almighty Love.

What wonderful scholars those early teachers were. "Amazed we, gazing rustics, rang'd around; And still we gaz'd, and still our wonder grew That one small head could carry all he knew." It is no wonder that we were often awed by their intellectual profundity, nor that they gave our youthful brains an impetus which sent them bounding through the severe curriculum we had to face.
"Awestruck, the much-admiring crowd Before the virgin vision bowed, Gaz'd with an ever-new delight, And caught fresh virtues at the sight." EDWARD MOORÉ'S Fables. On the 24th of June, in the year 708, merry crowds were thronging to Vazon Forest. It was a lovely spot.
My misery increases with your Happiness, unless you participate my Pains; you are in the Bud of your Beauty, which when full blown, will be like the Sun in the midst of the Horizon, Illuminating the whole World, but its penetrating Rays not to be gaz'd upon. You are the Lilly and I am the Thorn; you beautify the rich fertile Vale, whilst I retire to the barren Mountains.
I was expecting him to start up with joy at my announcement; but instead of this, he gaz'd at me very sorrowfully and shook his head; which brought me to a stand. "Sir," I said, changing my tone, "I speak but what I know: for 'twas I had the happy fortune to help her to escape, and, under God's hand, to bring her safe to Cornwall." "Then, where is she now?"
She is an Arab lady of some seventy or more years of age, but, like most ladies, does not know how old she is. At first sight of her, I "Gaz'd on her sun-burnt face with silent awe, Her tatter'd mantle, Her moving lips, "Whose dark eyes flash'd, through locks of blackest shade." The Pythoness asked me how I liked her country, a hundred times, and then begged for something in the name of Allah.
