For it is a new empire which Imperial Britain presents to our scrutiny, a new empire moulded by a new ideal. Let me illustrate this by a contrast a contrast between two armies and what each brings to the vanquished. Who that has read the historian of Alva can forget the march of his army through the summer months some three hundred and thirty years ago?
Let the individual shriek, the innocent, triumphant, have in honesty to admit the fact. One side is vanquished according to decree of Law, but the superior Council does not allow it to be extinguished."
If she ever needed help, if she ever needed escape, she had a friend to whom she could turn a staunch and capable friend who would never fail her. She was sure that Scott would find a way to ease the burden if it became too heavy. Her faith in him, his wisdom, his strength, was unbounded. And he helped everyone the valiant servant Greatheart, protector of the helpless, sustainer of the vanquished.
I have a confidant in all my troubles; the most faithful of counsellors, the craftiest of valets; a Leporello often tried and never found wanting: my own good mind. And now, thou female fiend! the battle is to the strongest; and I see right well that the struggle between two such spirits will be a long and a fearful one. Woe, I say, to the vanquished!

A devouring host of one hundred and twenty thousand Germans had formerly passed the Rhine under the command of Ariovistus.
He avowed that he was deeply enamored of Enrica a man in love is already half vanquished. Why should Marescotti throw away his chance of happiness for a phantasy a mere dream? There was no real obstacle. He was versatile and visionary, but the very soul of honor.
In the mean time tidings reach the court of the fame of the beautiful Brunhild, queen of Isenland, of her matchless courage and strength; every suitor for her hand being forced to abide three combats with her, and if vanquished to suffer a cruel death.
The old man had already often tried to bring down Paula's image from its high pedestal in his soul, but always in vain; and even now he should not succeed. He would mar nothing, scatter nothing to the winds, tread nothing in the dust but the burning passion, the fevered longing for her, which had fired his blood ever since that night when he had vanquished the raving Masdakite.
He lifted it with an effort, but at once Siegfried's unseen hand grasped it and threw it with such strength that it dropped even beyond the spot to which it had been flung by the Queen. Lifting King Gunther with him Siegfried next jumped far beyond the spot on which the Queen had alighted. And all the warriors marveled to see their Queen thus vanquished by the strange King.
