In December, 1815, Mr. and Mrs. Judson began to make known to the people the Gospel they had come to Burma to preach.
Something had evidently lain heavily upon her mind; she had been greatly distressed, even alarmed; but with the confidence of a lover he saw himself a god of the machine, consoling, reassuring, dissipating grief, and causing smiles to take the place of tears. Upheld by these pleasant reflections, he breakfasted and then strolled through the rooms. They had been put in perfect order.
Many's the time I've been asked, with a deal of hesitation and apology, to do a thing that did not cost me a farthing's worth of grief or labour; and as lightly as could be, to do another which would have gone far to break either my back or my heart.

Then was lamentation upraised after the feast, a great noise in the morning. "The mighty prince, a noble of old goodness, sat unblithe; the strong in armies suffered, the thanes endured sorrow, after they beheld the track of the hated one, the accursed spirit."
