"Here's the life I've sigh'd for long: Abash'd is now the Saxon throng, And Britons have a British lord Whose emblem is the conquering sword; There's none I trow but knows him well, The hero of the watery dell, Owain of bloody spear in field, Owain his country's strongest shield; A sovereign bright in grandeur drest, Whose frown affrights the bravest breast.
This love brings hope and cheerful constancy; with a shining falchion it affrights into their natal darkness the monstrous forms of despair, and lends to all work a secret charm of chivalry. It sustains that high anticipatory mood to which life is but a preparation, and the bees buzzing round the honey-flowers seem poor things toiling for an inessential gain.
Herr Arne bent his head to her and said: "I know not what it is that affrights you." "I am in fear of the long knives they are whetting at Branehog," she said. "How can you hear them whetting knives at Branehog?" said Herr Arne, smiling. "The place lies two miles from here. Take up your spoon again and let us finish our supper." The old woman made an effort to overcome her terror.
The causes of War must be destroyed first; and, as I have more than once tried to make clear, the causes ramify through our midst; they are like the roots, pervading the body politic, of some fell disease whose outbreak on the surface shocks and affrights us. To dislodge and extirpate these roots is a long business.
God watch over and guard you both! You are orphans now. But HE has told even the orphans to call him 'Father!" When he had read this letter, Philip Morton fell upon his knees, and prayed. "His curse! Dost comprehend what that word means? Shot from a father's angry breath." JAMES SHIRLEY: The Brothers. "This term is fatal, and affrights me." Ibid.
Though what thou sayest should be true, it does not come well from thy mouth. A Papist talk of reason! Go to the Inquisition and tell them of reason and the great laws of Nature. They will broil thee, as thy soldiers broiled the unhappy Guatimozin. Why dost thou turn pale? Is it the name of the Inquisition, or the name of Guatimozin, that troubles and affrights thee?
Feel my hand, it is warm feel my pulse, it beats as evenly as though I had never slept a night out of Eden." "You are a heroine, Arabella. The magnificence around us affrights my cowardly soul; while you surely I heard your silvery laugh when I entered this room awhile ago." "To be sure you did, faint-hearted knight of the card-table!
"... Get secretly behind a tree, and stand as free from motion as possible; then put a grasshopper on your hook, and let your hook hang a quarter of a yard short of the water, to which end you must rest your rod on some bough of a tree; but it is likely that the Chubs will sink down towards the bottom of the water at the first shadow of your rod, for a Chub is the fearfulest of fishes, and will do so if but a bird flies over him and makes the least shadow on the water; but they will presently rise up to the top again, and there lie soaring until some shadow affrights them again; I say, when they lie upon the top of the water, look at the best Chub, which you, getting yourself in a fit place, may very easily see, and move your rod as slowly as a snail moves, to that Chub you intend to catch, let your bait fall gently upon the water three or four inches before him, and he will infallibly take the bait, and you will be as sure to catch him.... Go your way presently, take my rod, and do as I bid you, and I will sit down and mend my tackling till you return back "
Yet, O dear child, you who, when almost an infant, ere yet you knew what snares and pitfalls, for all who trust to another, lie under the sward at our feet, even when decked the fairest with the flowers of spring; you who put your small hands around my neck, and murmured in your musical voice, 'Save us, save my father, you at least I will not forsake, in a peril worse than that which menaced you then, a peril which affrights you more than that which threatened you in the snares of Peschiera.
