"I doubt it not, Allan, since though it has pleased me to make a jest of thee, I know that thou hast thy share of wisdom, such little share as thou canst gather in thy few short years.
And behold, ye shall meet together oft; and ye shall not forbid any man from coming unto you when ye shall meet together, but suffer them that they may come unto you and forbid them not; But ye shall pray for them, and shall not cast them out; and if it so be that they come unto you oft ye shall pray for them unto the Father, in my name.
From Bewley's bog, with slaughter red, A wanderer hither drew; And oft he stopp'd and turn'd his head, As by fits the night-winds blew. For trampling round by Cheviot-edge Were heard the troopers keen; And frequent from the Whitelaw ridge The death-shot flash'd between," &c. &c.
And oft there did be hot pools, and everywhere the great boulders in the bottom way, and to the right and to the left the black and mighty sides of the Gorge that did go upward for ever into the everlasting night. And so I did go, and had eat and drunk at the sixth hour, and gone onward again.

"In hard strife I slew the bear, Thereof many a man doth hear; Then the cloak I oft had worn, By the beast to rags was torn; Thou, O braggart ring-bearer, Wrought that jest upon me there, Now thou payest for thy jest, Not in words am I the best?" Biorn said, that oft had greater matters than these been atoned for.

"This is indeed a surprise," she said, and again involuntarily she gasped. "Rumour had it that you were a hundred miles away at least." "Rumour!" laughed Lord Saltash. "How oft hath rumour played havoc with my name! Not an unpleasant surprise, I trust?" He handed her ashore, laughing on a note of mockery.
The blind man's wretchedness is so much, that it maketh him not only subject to a child, or to a servant, for ruling and leading, but also to an hound. And the blind is oft brought to so great need, that to pass and scape the peril of a bridge or of a ford, he is compelled to trust in a hound more than to himself.
