In this place we saw deer: here we rode in eight fathoms near the shore where we took great store of cod, as before at Cape Cod, but much better. The three-and-twentieth we weighed, and toward night came to anchor at the northwest part of this island, where the next morning offered unto us fast running thirteen savages apparelled as aforesaid, and armed with bows and arrows without any fear.
And, in this place, it may be as well to apprise the reader, that Miss Fanny Squeers was in her three-and-twentieth year. If there be any one grace or loveliness inseparable from that particular period of life, Miss Squeers may be presumed to have been possessed of it, as there is no reason to suppose that she was a solitary exception to an universal rule.
'Tis even so! there stands Count Thur who commands it. It was the three-and-twentieth of May in the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred and eighteen. It seems to me as it were but yesterday from that unlucky day it all began, all the heartaches of the country. Since that day it is now sixteen years, and there has never once been peace on the earth. The Prince of Weimar! Hurrah!
She was only in her three-and-twentieth year and lovely as she was, nature had scarcely had time to finish the picture.
At best one comes in a bad third more often a bad three-and-twentieth I mean nothing risky. Don't be nervous. But they have romantic memories of half-a-dozen women.
She looked at me, then at her sweet boy, who was playing on the carpet but she made no answer; and then a flood of tears succeeded. It was, indeed, a case of singular calamity for a beautiful young creature to be placed in. She was only in her three-and-twentieth year and, lovely as she was, nature had scarcely had time to finish the picture.
Of this frame of mind the record is the second sonnet, lines which are an inseparable part of Milton's biography How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth, Stol'n on his wing my three-and-twentieth year! My hasting days fly on with full career, But my late spring no bud or blossom shew'th.
Milton himself, however, was not quite at rest, as his sonnet On his being arrived to the age of twenty-three shows: "How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth, Stolen on his wing my three-and-twentieth year: My hasting days fly on with full career, But my late Spring no bud or blossom show'th.
The three-and-twentieth of July we came to anchor before Exmouth. Gosnold sailed from Falmouth, England, in 1602, Raleigh being interested in the expedition. He reached the New England coast in May of the same year, and discovered Cape Cod, to which, because of the abundance of codfish in neighboring waters he gave the name it bears.
But the three-and-twentieth of this present we were with the secretary, and then among other talk we moved, that if we should tarry at Colmogro with our wares, and should not come to Vologda, or, further, to seek our market, but tarry still at Colmogro, and then the merchants of the Moscow and others should not come and bring their wares, and so the ships should come, and not have their lading ready, that then it were a great loss and hindrance for us.
