Up, bleeding old man bang! bang! Ha, ha, ora! that finishes ora! 'Twas the boy saved your life with that last shot, Sosthène, and the boy the youth is 'Thanase. He has not stopped to talk; he and his father are catching the horses of the dead and dying jayhawkers. Now bind up Sosthène's head, and now 'Thanase's hip. Now strip the dead beasts, and take the dead men's weapons, boots, and spurs.
"Thou knowest not all my sin," she answered, "nor dare I trust it to the air, lest my own words should strike me dead. Sancta Maria, ora pro nobis!" When the Knight left the room, she fell upon her knees before the crucifix and buried her face in her hands.
It was a relic of her sandals that was hung about thy neck, and her ship in which thou didst sail; and lo, she heard and guarded thee, and not merely saved thee from death, but provided thee a happy joyous home and well-nurtured childhood. We must render her our thanks, my child. Beata Brigitta, ora pro nobis." "It was the good God Almighty who saved me, madam," said Cis bluntly. "Alack!
Shakespeare, Rostand, and Barrie have both, and are naturally therefore great dramatists. Two of the most of Miss Branch's poems are Lazarus Ora Pro Nobis. These are fruitful subjects for poetry, the man who came back from the grave and the passionate woman buried alive. In the short piece Lazarus, cast into the form of dialogue Lazarus answers the question put to him by Tennyson in In Memoriam.
HORACE mentions a white elephant as having been exhibited at Rome: "Sive elephas albus vulgi converteret ora." HOR. Ep. Habits when Wild. Although found generally in warm and sunny climates, it is a mistake to suppose that the elephant is partial either to heat or to light. In Ceylon, the mountain tops, and not the sultry valleys, are its favourite resort.
Even Frederick the Great was forced to see at last in the Patriarch of Ferney something more than a monkey with a genius for French versification. He actually came to respect the author of Akakia, and to cherish his memory. 'Je lui fais tous les matins ma prière, he told d'Alembert, when Voltaire had been two years in the grave; 'je lui dis, Divin Voltaire, ora pro nobis.
The princess in English her familiar Tahitian name, Noanoa Tiare, meant Fragrance of the Jasmine was in the Parc de Bougainville, by the bust of the first French circumnavigator. "Ia ora na!" she greeted me. "Are you ready for adventure?" She handed me a small, soft package, with a caution to keep it safe and dry. I put it in my inside pocket.
Pop! pop! dodge, and fire as you dodge! Pop! pop! pop! down he goes; well done, gray-bearded Sosthène! Shoot there! Wheel here! Wounded? Never mind ora! Another rogue reels! Collar him, Chaouache! drag him from the saddle down he goes! What, again? Shoot there! Look out, that fellow's getting away! Ah! down goes Sosthène's horse, breaking his strong neck in the tumble.
"Is there no one else?" asked Miss Ada, as Ellis told his doleful tale. "Ora Hart is taking care of Leona," Ellis answered; "but she has as much as she can do to look after her own children. She's Leona's cousin and she's awful good to come in at all. You see most everybody's got folks of their own to see to, and they can't spare much time, although they're all willin' enough to do what they can.
At this apparition the man, starting up in his ecstasy, struck the beasts with his fists, and overthrew them. Then the vision, gliding along in a manner difficult to understand, and therefore the more admired, sang these words in Spanish sufficiently pure for the English sailors who were present: "Ora! llora! De palabra Nace razon. De luz el son."
