Why didst thou lay aside that labour of love for Harold the King? Hie thee home, and bid thy maidens ply all night at the work; make it potent with rune and with spell, and with gums of the seid. Take the banner to Harold the King as a marriage-gift; for the day of his birth shall be still the day of his nuptials with Edith the Fair!"
I ought to have told them they were sinners; I ought to have told them they were reckless; I ought to have told them by what a narrow chance they had escaped the just punishment of their iniquity, and instead of that I found myself stretching out hands that were at once seized and kissed, and merely saying with a cheerful smile, "Nun Kinder, liebt Euch, und seid brav."
Seid had fallen in the War of Tabuc, the first of Mahomet's fightings with the Greeks. Mahomet said, It was well; Seid had done his Master's work, Seid had now gone to his Master: it was all well with Seid. Yet Seid's daughter found him weeping over the body; the old gray-haired man melting in tears! "What do I see?" said she. "You see a friend weeping over his friend."
We got a photograph of a group of them resting on their guns, and with their kanjars or sickle-shaped daggers at their waists. We took Prince Mohamed, the heir-apparent, and the stout Seid bin Omar, the prime minister of Bahrein. But Sheikh Esau refused to place his august person within reach of our camera.
Devoted to the sex, and easily enamoured, his experience with them had imbued him with one of their highest qualities pity.

I induced the printer of Rockel's Volksblatt, which was for the moment at a standstill, to employ all the type he would have used for his next number, in printing in huge characters on strips of paper the words: Seid Ihr mit uns gegen fremde Truppen?
Long and dubious has been the music's struggle with pain, but at last, in great simplicity, the voices of the men give out the immortal theme, and the whole universe joins in harmony with a thunder of exultation: "Seid umschlungen, Millionen, Diesen Kuss der ganzen Welt!" Surely at the Hague Conference, in the fulfilment of time, peace had come on earth and goodwill among men.
Sheikh Esau's representative at Manamah his prime minister or viceroy, we should call him, though he is usually known there by the humble-sounding title of the 'bazaar master, by name Seid bin Omar, is a very stout and nearly black individual, with a European cast of countenance.
Not ours is the present, and the future escapes from our dreams; but the past is ours ever, and all eternity cannot revoke a single joy that the moment hath known." Then seating herself in Godwin's large chair, she leant over her seid- staff, and was silent, as if absorbed in her thoughts. "Githa," she said at last, "where is thy lord? I came to touch his hands and to look on his brow."
On the 24th of February he finished his Persian New Testament, and in six weeks more his translation of the Psalms. His residence in Persia had lasted just a year, and, though direct missionary work had not been possible to him there, he had certainly inspired his coadjutor, Mirza Seid Ali, with a much higher morality and with something very like faith.
