La mort seroit trop douce en ces extremitez, Mais le scrupule parle, et nous crie, arretez; Il defend a nos mains cet heureux homicide Et d'un heros guerrier, fait un Chretien timide," &c. Do not imagine that I have translated Shakspeare in a servile manner.
"The official was moved, but said the law was strict, and the town must conduct the funeral unless she could find the sad courage to give the necessary instructions. With this he was going out, inexorable, when all of a sudden I observed something that sent my heart into my mouth, and I cried 'Arretez! so loud that everybody stared.
But old Louis, in the stern of the canoe, had taken hold of the slack and was pulling it in hand over hand. In a second he shouted "Arrêtez! Arrêtez! M'sieu, il n'est pas parti, il est la!" It was a most extraordinary affair. The spring of the flexible branch had been enough to keep the line from breaking.

The wedding singers take their places, one on this side the bridal calèche, the other on that, and away it starts, creaking and groaning. "Mais, arretez! Stop, stop! Before going, passez le 'nisette! pass the anisette!" May the New-Orleans compounder be forgiven the iniquitous mixture! "Boir les dames avant! Let the ladies drink first!" Aham! straight from the bottle. Now, go. The calèche moves.
