For ere one half of the night was gone, Sudden a star has led us on, Raining bliss and benison Bliss to-morrow and more anon, Joy for every morning! Goodman Joseph toiled through the snow Saw the star o'er a stable low; Mary she might not further go Welcome thatch, and litter below! Joy was hers in the morning! And then they heard the angels tell "Who were the first to cry Nowell?
The pennon behind me, and the squires round the pennon. Stand fast with the anchors in the waist, and be ready for a cast. Now blow out the trumpets, and may God's benison be with the honest men!" As he spoke a roar of voices and a roll of drums came from either galley, and the water was lashed into spray by the hurried beat of a hundred oars.
She smiled a sisterly benison upon his request, and, still holding her hands, he leaned to her and kissed her. Closing her eyes she wondered intently for a moment, able, in the midst of her motion, to analyse it; for, yes, it had thrilled her. She needed to be kissed, were it only Franklin who kissed her.
I foresee him an invaluable chairman of committee. But he will never become a statesman. He has too passionate a faith in facts and figures, and has not cultivated a sense of humour at the expense of the philosophers. Young men who do not read them lose a great deal of fun. Well, to-morrow I leave Murglebed for ever; it has my benison. Democritus returns to London.
"Nay, holy Edward, from all I have seen of convents, it is a dream to think that the monk's serge hides a calmer breast than the warrior's mail, or the king's ermine. Now give me thy benison, for I go." He knelt as he spoke, and Edward bent his hands over his head, and blessed him. A small door opened, giving a glimpse of the oratory within, and a monk appeared.
As he went home he saw her cutting fodder for a calf; she was kneeling in a haze of rose colour made by the many blossoms of the orchis maculat which grew there. The morning light sparkled in the wet grass. She got up as she saw him cross the field, dropped her curtsey low with a smile, then resumed her work, the dew, the sun, the sweet fresh scents shed on her like a benison.
I give you good-night," he added, "Sir Palmer, with small thanks for short courtesy." "Good-night, and Our Lady's benison," said the Palmer, with composure; and his guide moved forward.
There was such subtle tact exhibited and such powers of delicate blandishment displayed that he was convinced women were born diplomatists, and he now had some conception of how it was that in a broader field some of the sex had wielded such an influence over kings and statesmen as to be the powers behind the throne which ruled empires and kingdoms for their benison or their bane.
I transcribe a verse from a most affecting hymn, composed by that gifted man " "Oh, d n the hymn!" roared my father; "on with you, Frank, and my benison light on the composer of it! Don't stop to favor us with his name, and pass over the filthy doggerel!" I proceeded under orders accordingly.
Next morning, at breakfast, Sin Saxon was as beautifully ruffled, ratted, and crimped, as gay, as bewitching, and defiant as ever, seated next Madam Routh, assiduously devoted to her in the little attentions of the meal, in high spirits and favor; even saucily alluding, across the table, to "our howl, Miss Craydocke!" Public opinion was carried by storm; the benison of sleep had laid wrath.
