Just before Hystaspes was led in by the chamberlain, Cambyses had sprung up from his couch. This idle repose had become unendurable, he felt suffocated with pain and anger.

Moreover, Ivan Ogareff, thirsting for vengeance, aims at the life of my brother!" The Czar had become excited whilst speaking, and now paced up and down with hurried steps. The chief of police said nothing, but he thought to himself that, during the time when the emperors of Russia never pardoned an exile, schemes such as those of Ivan Ogareff could never have been realized.
With a centennial hatred of Spain, splendidly disciplined armies and foremost navy of the world, with an admirable financial system and vast commercial resources, with a great stadholder, first captain of the age, thirsting for war, and allied in blood as well as religion to the standard-bearer of the Bohemian revolt; with councils directed by the wisest and most experienced of living statesman, and with the very life blood of her being derived from the fountain of civil and religious liberty, the great Republic of the United Netherlands her Truce with the hereditary foe just expiring was, if indeed united, strong enough at the head of the Protestant forces of Europe to dictate to a world in arms.

Pain and disease and mutilation of all those horrors, as far as I can, he shall know nothing. He shall not nurse me; he shall only love and lead me.

"But I shouldn't care to feel the restraint of it, and I thank heaven I have no enemy thirsting for my blood." Sir Terence's brow darkened. His face was turned away from his secretary. "How can a man be confident of that?" he wondered.
Michael Bawdrey, a retired brewer, thirsting for something more enduring than malt to carry his name down the ages became fired with enthusiasm upon the subject, and set forth for Java 'hot foot, as one might say.
Single-handed he stood midway between the Trojans and Achaeans: the spears that sped from their hands stuck some of them in his mighty shield, while many, though thirsting for his blood, fell to the ground ere they could reach him to the wounding of his fair flesh.
"To the king to the king!" shouted Nigel Bruce, urging his horse to the side of Alan, and ably aiding him to strike down their rapidly increasing foes. "Hemmed in on all sides, he will fall beneath their thirsting swords. To the king to the king! Yield he never will; and better he should not. On, on, for the love of life, of liberty, of Scotland! on to the king!"
She is undoubtedly the last whom I or another person would have fixed upon as one to work me this unmitigated evil. I do not know her, and I believe I do not care to know her, and I am thirsting for the hour to come when I shall study her. Is not this to have the poison of a bite in one's blood? The wrath of Venus is not a fable.
