They dare not touch a man to the quick, because, alas! they are looking to themselves, and thinking what people will say of THEM, instead of what God will say of them. You must not be afraid of blood if you are to be a true warrior of the Lord Jesus Christ. You must not be afraid to say, if need be, "Oh! generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Men grumble at taxes and tolls; alas! nobody is stopped at so many gates and questioned in so many ways as he. If he take in hand the tender matter of consoling stricken hearts, the ecstasy of his visions will not save his topic from being regarded by some as painful, and by others as a mere shining of the moon.
Whither does he run? let him grant this grace alas, the last! to his lover, and await fair winds and an easy passage. No more do I pray for the old delusive marriage, nor that he give up fair Latium and abandon a kingdom. This last favour I implore: sister, be pitiful; grant this to me, and I will restore it in full measure when I die.
I sighed as I remembered the sun and the flowers and the blue Chesapeake, and recalled the very toss of her head when she had said she would marry nothing less than a duke. Alas, Dolly, perchance it was to be nothing more than a duke!
Therefore it is grievously to be lamented that many so little consider this health-giving mystery, which maketh heaven glad and preserveth the whole world. Alas for the blindness and hardness of man's heart, that he considereth not more this unspeakable gift, and even slippeth down through the daily use, into carelessness.

I see, I see! And there never was such queen as you would be, so shrewd, so beautiful, so royal never! But, alas, dear Egypt! by the vision as you show it me the prizes are all of war, and you are but a woman, though Isis did kiss you on the heart. And crowns are starry gifts beyond your power of help, unless, indeed, you have a way to them more certain than that of the sword.
Men that run, you know, if any do call after them, saying, I would speak with you, or go not too fast, and you shall have my company with you, if they run for some great matter, they use to say, Alas, I cannot stay, I am in haste, pray talk not to me now; neither can I stay for you, I am running for a wager: if I win I am made, if I lose I am undone, and therefore hinder me not.
"Sir Marmaduke gave orders, Master Lambert," she began with obvious reluctance, "that ..." She paused, and he concluded the sentence for her: "That I was not to be allowed inside his house.... Was that it?" "Alas! yes, good master." "Never mind, girl," he rejoined as he deliberately crossed the hall and sat down in the chair which she had just vacated.
On their clear faces, as in a pool, she saw the reflection of their fears. With gracious purpose she arose. 'Come, she said, 'do not be afraid of me, and took a step towards them. But alas! at the first moment, the two poor babes in the wood turned and ran helter-skelter from the Princess. The most desolate pang was struck into the girl's heart.
