Involuntarily, in self-dedication, he found himself using the familiar prayer of the theatre: O majestical Victory, shelter my life Neath thy covert of wings, Aye, cease not to grant me thy crowning. The answer to this prayer, the grant of victory, came, as it happened, in strange guise.
Did I not tell you that you should have a home here?" Miss Prettyman had weak eyes, and was very small, and had never possessed any claim to be called good-looking. And she assumed nothing of the majestical awe from any adornment or studied amplification of the outward woman by means of impressive trappings.
Not by majestical engines and curious devices and mass-action, nor yet by an imposed human authority enforced by arms and the law, but by the Holy Spirit of God working through the individual soul and compelling the individual will.

What a piece of work is a man!
Thus amid tears did he speak, and the mother majestical heard him, Sitting afar in the deep by her father the Ancient of Ocean.
The majestical, long-bearded, patriarchal rams shake their bells and parade solemnly round, while the silken females clatter their little hoofs as they run from the hand of the milker when he has filled his can.
