"Love-locks floating free," I answered her gaily enough. "Shall I thank him for his courtesies to you, Madonna, if we meet?" "You will not meet: he is gone to Spello," she began, and then stopped, blushing painfully. "But I may stay in Spello this night and could seek him out." She was mistress of her lips, and could now look steadily at me. "I wish him very well," said Imola.
While he was still on deck I went below, and seeing Sam with his little wife on his knee playing with his love-locks, I said that there was a famous stout and good-looking fellow that we should have as a shipmate. Sam's wife, who, like all women, was a little curious, put her head up the hatchway to look at him.
Delightful catalogue! How odd, indeed, that a man with such work to do should not have sported with Amaryllis, or played with the tangles of Neaera's hair, should not have worn well-anointed love-locks and snowy linen, should, on the other hand, have bared his brawny arm, and sent the hissing flail down swiftly upon the waled and blistered back of Sham!
His christening finery is in the package here, and I will stand sponsor as before." "Mother," said young John at her elbow, "may I not stand sponsor, too?" She laughed and pulled his long love-locks. "Ay, my lord Marquess," she answered, "if his parents are willing to take such a young one." Mistress Anne sate by their guest, he holding her in great favour.
As much to you, Aeschines. Aeschines. How long it is since we met! Thyonichus. Is it so long? But why, pray, this melancholy? Aeschines. I am not in the best of luck, Thyonichus. Thyonichus. 'Tis for that, then, you are so lean, and hence comes this long moustache, and these love-locks all adust.
Before this little incident I had thought him the pink of politeness. He wore love-locks and rings in his ears, and was dressed with the most accurate French nautical precision; in fact he looked thoroughly unlike an English seaman. In his manners he was a very mild man, and certainly he had nothing of the ruffian about him.
She got to know them all at last by name whole generations of them. There was Sir Ralph in armour, and Bridget, his wife, in a ruff and a farthingale; young Sir Maurice, who died in boyhood, and Sir Penrhyn, his brother, in long love-locks and lace ruffles.
Then her hair would not on any account lie straight, but disposed itself in dainty tendrils and love-locks over her forehead, which gave her almost a childish look, and was a serious trouble to Miss Kitty herself, who preferred her step-mother's abundant flaxen plaits, and did not know the charm that those soft rings of curling hair lent to her irregular, little face.
Hither come, to the scene of our revel, The gladsome band of the faithful. Shake the fragrant, berried garland, Myrtle-twined, that crowns thy love-locks, Shedding its odors! Tread the measure, with fearless stamp, Of this our reckless, rapturous dance, In holy rejoicing! Hand in hand, thrice beatified, Lo we thread the rhythmic, fanciful, Mystical mazes! And the dance begins.
They let their love-locks grow; set plumes in their castors and jewels in their ears; they drank deep, ruffled it with the boldest and decked their utterance with great oaths for to none doth blasphemy come more readily than to lips that in youth have been overmuch shaped in unwilling prayer.
