By the description, Morton guessed she was the fair incognita, and felt disappointed at having lost the interview. "The cursed carle was at his wonted trade, Still tempting heedless men into his snare, In witching wise, as I before have said; But when he saw, in goodly gear array'd, The grave majestic knight approaching nigh, His countenance fell." THOMSON, Castle of Indolence.
"Array'd in order o' merit," said he, pointing with his mop like a showman to the line of figures before him. We drew near. "This here is Matt. Soames, master o' this vessel an' he's dead." "Dead?" "Dead-drunk, that is. O the gifted man! Come up!" He thrust the mop in the fellow's heavy face. "There now! Did he move, did he wink? 'No, says you. O an accomplished drunkard!"
Loved scenes, array'd in tenderest hue, Now rise in beauty to my view; And long-lost friends around me stand, Or, smiling, grasp my willing hand. Again I seek my island home; Along the silent bays I roam, Or, seated on the rocky shore, I hear the angry surges roar. And oh, how sweet the music seems I've heard amid my blissful dreams!
In rough magnificence array'd, When ancient Chivalry display'd The pomp of her heroic games, And crested chiefs and tissued dames Assembled, at the clarion's call, In some proud castle's high arch'd hall. Warton Prince John held his high festival in the Castle of Ashby.
But she felt in her inmost soul that these alone would not suffice.

So that as soon as my comrade was decently array'd at the first slopshop we came to, 'twas high time to seek an inn. We found quarters at "The Horn," and sought the travelers' room, and a fire to dry ourselves. In this room, at the window, were two men who look'd lazily up at our entrance.

From the general wreck of property Monsieur S has been fortunate enough to save a considerable portion of his former fortune.
One could not but recall the stanza of "Childe Harold": Morn dawns, and with it stern Albania's hills, Dark Suli's rocks, and Pindus' inland peak, Robed half in mist, bedewed with snowy rills, Array'd in many a dun and purple streak, Arise; and, as the clouds along them break, Disclose the dwelling of the mountaineer: Here roams the wolf, the eagle whets his beak, Birds, beasts of prey, and wilder men appear, And gathering storms around convulse the closing year.
