And lastly, before the presence of God, I command thee, and in the nearest love of my heart I desire thee, to take great care that sweet Nan whom God bless, may be carefully brought up in the fear of God, not to delight in worldly vanities, which I too well know be but baits to draw her out of the heavenly kingdom. Thine as wholly as man was ever woman's,
Breed's watchfulness for traps and poison baits had waned from the fact that he found none of either on the range, and he now gave them scarce a thought. On the other hand his caution to avoid horsemen was quickened from seeing many of them and his vigilance in that particular was never relaxed.
They went on, then, more and more stimulated, from the combined effects of the coaxings and the seductions held out as baits to them by the choir of portresses of love all over the upper part of the street, and the ignoble maledictions hurled at them by the choir at the lower end the despised choir of disappointed wenches.
The pole was then buried at one side of the hole. Placing at the back of the hole a duck's head that Ne-geek had shot for the purpose, Oo-koo-hoo scattered a few feathers about. Some of these, as well as the pan of the trap, had been previously daubed with a most stinking concoction called "fox bait" hereafter called "mixed bait" to prevent confusing this with other baits.
Directly after breakfast, they set about the first part of Harry's plan, which was to get all the baits and tackle ready for the next day a most business-like proceeding, but quite in opposition to Harry and Philip's general habit, for they in most cases left their preparations to the last moment.
"Friend," said Captain Dall, taking the hand of the tall savage in his and speaking with some emotion, "you have been sent as our deliverer, I know, but how a South Sea islander should happen to befriend us, and how you should come to speak English as well as ye do, is more than I can understand." "Onderstand!" exclaimed Larry; "it's past belaif. It baits cock-fightin' intirely."
The passionate desires about which I am speaking, be they for money, be they for fame, or be they for any other of the gilded baits of worldly joys these passionate dislikes and likings, as well as the purely animal ones the longing for food, for drink, for any other physical gratification these were never meant to be men's guides. They are meant to be impulses.
To this shorter lines are attached at intervals, each one being supplied with a fish hook baited with a piece of the tender rootstock of a certain water reed, of which the ducks are very fond. The main cord and lines are then imbedded in the sand, the various baits only appearing on the surface, and the success of the device is equal to its cruelty.
Wherefore as you find the nets, so the chains had pomegranates on them. The chains then had baits, as well as the nets, to show that the bands of the gospel are unresistible goodnesses; such with which men love to be bound, and such as they pray they may be held fast by. By these chains there is therefore showed what strength there is in gospel-charms, if once the adder doth but hear them.
In front of them was a little grass-plot where, from time to time, they were allowed to disport themselves. Bag-nets, baits, traps and all sorts of snares were manufactured. Often they would take out pointers who would set almost immediately; then the whippers-in, advancing step by step, would cautiously spread a huge net over their motionless bodies.
