In one respect these knights differ from anything which we have had presented to us in our historical romances. To turn to the supreme romancer, you will find that Scott's mediaeval knights were usually muscular athletes in the prime of life: Bois-Guilbert, Front-de-Boeuf, Richard, Ivanhoe, Count Robert they all were such.
As he was eyeing the assembly to note their manner of receiving this proclamation his expression changed. "Egnatius!" he called sharply. "Come here!" Egnatius Capito came forward. Like Tanno and myself he was conspicuous since he was in his toga, most of those present being athletes and clad for practice. "I did not notice you among your fellow senators at my levee," said the Emperor.
The hunting and the pet, or parasite, dogs the "dogs for sport and pleasure" though one in species with him are not like beings of the same order; they are like professional athletes and performers, and smart or fashionable people compared to those who do the work of the world who feed us and clothe us.
But the night before the team left, the students, four thousand strong, went to the training-house and filled a half-hour with college songs and cheers. Next morning Dale and Stevens, heading a small band of Wayne athletes and graduates, met the team at the railroad station and boarded the train with them.

Having done so with the greatest care, he felt that this was not enough without providing for its increase and development, for which he sowed the seed. He established public contests in honour of the Muses and Apollo, and appointed prizes and honours for victorious authors in general, as is done in the case of athletes.
It is ludicrous to observe how a Long-beard by which is meant an etymologizing Stoic cautiously weighs every word in goldsmith's scales; but there is nothing that surpasses the genuine philosophers' quarrel a Stoic boxing-match far excels any encounter of athletes.
But the king expressed himself as quite determined that the sacrament should be repeated in all its parts; that he should once more be anointed to use the phrase of brother Francis Neyen with the oil which holy athletes require in their wrestle with death.
One singer may find an hour a day sufficient, if she be already perfectly trained in every respect be "in good form," or "fit," as the athletes say and have only light or coloratura parts to sing; but would this suffice to form a singer to sustain the heaviest dramatic parts for hours together before a large public audience?
