Getting mad makes black marks on the health. Sleep woos the physically tired man; she flouts the mentally exhausted. Nature won't stand for overdrafts any more than your bank. In a squad it is the job of each individual to make himself fit, for it is his example that helps the rest. The leader may be no better than you, but some one must give the orders and set the pace.
The most innocent girl will have her ideal of a lover and thrill at the imagined touch, and furnish the dumb image with a dream-voice that woos her in impossible, elaborate, impassioned sentences, very unlike the real utterances of Love when he comes. The blue-eyed, ruddy-cheeked, golden-locked St.
He thinks a man ought never to be beat; and that 'It isn't so much the gallant who woos As the gallant's way of wooing. But I do hope, Harry, you won't have to marry Geraldine. Fancy her mistress of 'The Towers! no go! no fun! and she would collect the stupidest people in the county." "What a brilliant little chatelaine some one else would make!" quoth wicked Harry.
Posthumus hides his passion under a peasant's garb, and Edgar his pride beneath an idiot's rags; Portia wears the apparel of a lawyer, and Rosalind is attired in 'all points as a man'; the cloak-bag of Pisanio changes Imogen to the Youth Fidele; Jessica flees from her father's house in boy's dress, and Julia ties up her yellow hair in fantastic love-knots, and dons hose and doublet; Henry the Eighth woos his lady as a shepherd, and Romeo his as a pilgrim; Prince Hal and Poins appear first as footpads in buckram suits, and then in white aprons and leather jerkins as the waiters in a tavern: and as for Falstaff, does he not come on as a highwayman, as an old woman, as Herne the Hunter, and as the clothes going to the laundry?
It is fascinating and awesome to watch the growth of power in these movements of Jesus. It is as though He woos more persistently in the very degree and variety of power that He uses so freely, and with such apparent ease. Which calls out greater power, creating or healing? making water into wine or healing bodily ailment?

And when a woman woos, what woman's son Will sourly leave her till she have prevailed? His friend's loss was the greater to the poet, for, although he loved with passionate strength, it was against his conscience and his reason.

A man who has not learned to say 'No! who is not resolved that he will take God's way in spite of every dog that can bay or bark at him, in spite of every silvery voice that woos him aside will be a weak and a wretched man till he dies. In such a world as this, with such hearts as ours, weakness is wickedness in the long run.
It sings double things to the heart of knighthood; lures, and warns us; woos, and threatens. 'Tis as nature, shining peace, yet the mother of storm. 'There is no man, rapturously exclaims Heinrich von der Jungferweide, 'can resist the desire to win a sweet treasure before which lies a dragon sleeping. The very danger prattles promise.
