Alas for him! if he should happen to be anything of a droll; for in an evil hour should he perpetrate a joke, he would never know the last of it. The witticisms of others, however, upon himself, must be received in the greatest good-humour. Woe be unto him, if at meal-times he so much as look sideways at the beef-kid before the rest are helped.
Puts out our fires, And introduces hunger, frost and woe, Where peace and hospitality might reign. GOD IS A LOVER OF DRESS. We cannot but feel that God is a lover of dress. He has put on robes of beauty and glory upon all his works.
Uncontrolled power, in the hands of an incensed, imperious, and rapacious conqueror, is an engine of dreadful execution, and woe be to that country over which it can be exercised. The names of Whig and Tory would then be sunk in the general term of rebel, and the oppression, whatever it might be, would, with very few instances of exception, light equally on all.
Then above this sea of mist rose the great ball of the sun, but still we could see nothing that was more than a few yards away from us. "There is a blessed home beyond this land of woe" droned Quick beneath his breath for about the fiftieth time, since, apparently, he knew no other hymn which he considered suitable to our circumstances, then ejaculated suddenly: "Hullo! here's a stair.
'Alas, sighed Balan, 'if I had only known you! I saw your two swords, but from your shield I thought you had been another knight. 'Woe is me! said Balin, 'all this was wrought by an unhappy knight in the castle, who caused me to change my shield for his. If I lived, I would destroy that castle that he should not deceive other men.
His father is editor of the Great Britain, and the son seems to have inherited his talent for saying sharp things. Woe betide the Dominican who raises Tony's dander! He cannot box, he cannot pursue; but he can talk, and he can ridicule, as his victims all the school over know.
To calm myself during that week of excitement, I thought many times of Michelet's wise motto, "Let the weal and woe of humanity be everything to you, their praise and blame of no effect; be not puffed up with the one nor cast down with the other." Naturally at such a time I reviewed my life, its march and battle on the highways of experience, and counted its defeats and victories.
"Then it is woe for the for the one who is with us. But how had it been if you had seen Hodulf and his men round our house, and all the children slain that one might not escape, while on the roof crowed the red cock, and naught was left to us? We have lost less than if we had stayed for that, and we have gained what we sought, even safety.
That pride will be humbled, as already it has been humbled; that brow of majesty shall be sprinkled with the dust of change and death, that sinful spirit must be purified by sorrows and by separations. Brother Leo, if you win her, it will be but to lose, and then the ladder must be reclimbed. Brother Holly, for you as for me loss is our only gain, since thereby we are spared much woe.
It is growing up in distant Spain and, if Heaven accepted the great sacrifice which I once made for the boy whom you call Geronimo, if he receives what I besought for him at that time and on every returning day, then, Wolf, I shall bear the burden of my woe like a light garland of rose leaves. Nay, more. Charles will regain his youth sooner than be it in love or hate he will ever forget me.
