How could I dream you would come, even if you did?" "I should be no Christian if I didn't come." "But I mean we parted bad friends, you know." "Yes, Van; but when I asked you for the gray horse you sent me a new sidesaddle. A woman does not forget those little things. You were a gentleman, though a child of Belial."
On the calm face of Ferdinand himself appeared a slight shade of discomposure and irresolution, when the monk thus resumed: "My presence, my son, will not, I trust, disturb your conference with the infidel since you deem that worldly policy demands your parley with the men of Belial."
Numerous instances of the completeness with which this process of diabolization was effected, and the firmness with which it retained its hold upon the popular belief, even to late times, might be given; but the following must suffice. In one of the miracle plays, "The Conversion of Saul," a council of devils is held, at which Mercury appears as the messenger of Belial.
Every possible contributing cause calls aloud for expedition, and reprobates delay. This gardening fellow is gone. For his absence I thank him, but not for the resolute spirit with which he intends to attack his father and make him yield. He has a tongue that would silence the congregated clamours of the Sorbonne, and dumb-found Belial himself in the hall of Pandemonium.
And Belial promises half his kingdom during his life, and the whole on his decease, to him who succeeds in doing so.
Ride on, ride on, Thou Valiant Man of Might, And put to flight Those sons of Belial who do despite To the upright: Ride on, I say, Thou Champion, and smite Thine and Thy people's enemies, with such might That none may dare 'gainst Thee or Thine to fight.
For these reasons his name made a great impression on the audience, and after a short silence, one of the oldest knights, Kazko of Jaglow, said: "A difficult business!" "And for a trifle," said the prudent Mikolaj of Dlugolas. "What difference will it make to us, whether Tochtamysh or some Kutluk rules over the sons of Belial who dwell beyond the tenth-land?"
Some of the true sons of Belial, who did not believe that there was any hereafter, told him never to fear the devil, for there was none existing; and if ever he came to the prince, they desired he might be sent to them. Thus they teazed the poor innocent youth, so that he would not learn his book any more!
In Egypt, David and Hope found their pious mission though historians have since called it "whimsical and unpractical": David's to import the great Syrian donkey, which was to banish the shame of grossly burdening the small donkey of the land of Pharaoh; and Hope's to build schools where English should be taught, to exclude "that language of Belial," as David called French.
From its original meaning, the word became a poetical term in Hebrew for 'worthless, 'useless, and the like, e.g., in the well-known phrase "Sons of Belial." See p. 482. See p. 537. See above, p. 523. IIR. 59; reverse 33-35. See above, p. 175. IIR. 57, 51a, a star, Nin-azu, is entered as one of the names of the planet Ninib. See above, p. 565.
