"Sire," replied the lady, "whatever the slave be, as I have already observed to your majesty, there is no king on earth can tyrannize over her will.
Fresh taxes, fresh import duties and, more than all, his tolerance of the outrageous oppression of citizens by the military had rendered him the most obnoxious president since the despicable Alforan. The majority of his own cabinet were out of sympathy with him. The army, which he had courted by giving it license to tyrannize, had been his main, and thus far adequate support.
His voice rose to a shout, sank to a whisper, ran up and down the gamut of conversational melody.... In his own study or drawing-room, what he loved was to capture the visitor in a low arm-chair's "sofa-lap of leather", and from a most unfair vantage of height to tyrannize, to walk round the victim, in front, behind, on this side, on that, weaving magic circles, now with gesticulating arms thrown high, now grovelling on the floor to find some reference in a folio, talking all the while, a redundant turmoil of thoughts, fancies, and reminiscences flowing from those generous lips."
It was good to see Laurie square his shoulders, and smile with masculine scorn at that insinuation, as he replied, with his "high and mighty" air, "Amy is too well-bred for that, and I am not the sort of man to submit to it. My wife and I respect ourselves and one another too much ever to tyrannize or quarrel."
"Oh, well, have your own way! I knew that you would tyrannize, you always do whenever you get the chance, and very foolish I have been to give you the opportunity. To speak in that way to your father's wife and all because she had to take a little something for her nerves, and because of her neuralgia!

"When I lie waking all alone, Recounting what I have ill done, My thoughts on me they tyrannize, Feare and sorrow me surprise, Whether I tarry still or go, Me thinks the time moves very slow. All my griefs to this are jolly, Naught so sad as melancholy."
Trained up to use the whip and to tyrannize over the slaves, their grim and evil expression accorded with their hateful occupation. Through the kindness of a friend in Bridgetown we were favored with an interview with Mr. Jones, the superintendent of the rural police the whole body of police excepting those stationed in the town. Mr.
Three things have no durability without their concomitants: property without trade, knowledge without debate, or a sovereignty without government. To compassionate the wicked is to tyrannize over the good; and to pardon the oppressor is to deal harshly with the oppressed: When thou patronizest and succorest the base-born man, he looks to be made the partner of thy fortune.
At these words he threw himself on my neck in a transport of joy. Paul. But do you think that the women of Europe are false, as they are represented in the comedies and books which you have lent me? The Old Man. Women are false in those countries where men are tyrants. Violence always engenders a disposition to deceive. Paul. In what way can men tyrannize over women? The Old Man.
But manners are very different throughout the empire from what they were three hundred years ago. In every town the Kadhy is now under the immediate influence of the governor, who is left to tyrannize at pleasure, provided he sends his regular subsidies to the Porte.
