Thus Alcander and Cyrus could never have existed in human society they are neither French, nor English, nor Italian, because it is only allegorically that they are men.
Unhappily, however, before he reached it, a young man named Alcander, hasty in his resentments, though not otherwise ill-tempered, came up with him, and, upon his turning round, struck out one of his eyes with a stick. Lycurgus then stopped short, and, without giving way to passion, showed the people his eye beat out, and his face streaming with blood.
The weary world of waters between us oppresses the imagination. It is difficult to conceive how a scrawl of mine should ever stretch across it. It is a sort of presumption to expect that one's thoughts should live so far. It is like writing for posterity; and reminds me of one of Mrs. Rowe's superscriptions, "Alcander to Strephon, in the shades."
Bat Reeves has bought the strip of ground between the woodpile and the shed door by some kind of a deal he's rigged up with the widder, and with Alcander Reeves advisin' as counsel.
"When I think of what I was tryin' to make that poor critter do," said Cap'n' Sproul, absent-mindedly kicking a loosened clod into the hole, "I'm ashamed of myself. I reckon he's better off down there than up here. I don't wish him back." "If accused wish to say anything in their own defence it will be heard," declaimed Squire Alcander, advancing from the gathering throng.
Falatio, you are a swift Horseman; I believe you have a Mistress at Court, You made such haste this Morning. Fal. By Jove, Pisaro, I was weary enough of the Campaign; and till I had lost sight of it, I clapt on all my Spurs But what ails Alcander? Pis. What, displeas'd? Alcan. It may be so, what then? Pis. Then thou mayst be pleas'd again. Alcan. Why the Devil should I rejoice?
Erminia next appears, and the happy accident explained, Erminia is bestowed upon the dauphin, whilst the princess is united to the favourite. There is a slight underplot which deals with the amours of Aminta, sister to Pisaro, and Alcander. She is also courted by the cowardly fop, Falatius.
SCENE VI. Draws off, discovers Philander and Alcander with Musick at the Chamber-door of Erminia; to them Pisaro, who listens whilst the Song is sung.
Ounds, Sir, d'ye railly with me? Fal. Your pardon, sweet Alcander, I protest I am Not in so gay an humour. Alcan. Fal. Stark mad, by Jove yet it may be not, for Alcander has many unaccountable humours. Well, if this be agreeable to Aminta, she's e'en as mad As he, and 'twere great pity to part them. Enter Pisaro, Aminta, and Olinda. Am. Well, have you kill'd him? Fal. Some wiser than some, Madam.
That much concession to the convenances he demanded with a vigor that his doleful constituent did not gainsay. When they drove away the baleful eye of the first selectman spied Squire Alcander Reeves furtively regarding them through the dingy glass of his office window. "Me off witch-chasin' and him standin' there grinnin' at it like a jezeboo!" he gritted.
