"Fairest Protection," continued the courtier, not even honouring with a look, far less with a direct reply, the threat of the incensed Halbert, "doubt not that thy faithful Affability will be more commoved by the speech of this rudesby, than the bright and serene moon is perturbed by the baying of the cottage-cur, proud of the height of his own dunghill, which, in his conceit, lifteth him nearer unto the majestic luminary."
The Queen's uncle, who had accompanied her to Scotland, was one of the young men concerned, along with Earl Bothwell and another. "The horror of this fact and the raretie of it commoved all godlie hearts," said Knox and yet there was no lack of scandals in that age notwithstanding the zeal of purification.
I am not a good orator in my own cause; but what he would not be content to hear of me, God shall declare to him one day to his displeasure, unless he repent." Poor Knox, you see, is quite commoved. It has been a very unpleasant interview.
It was gone, but it had been; nor shall I ever again behold the stars with the same mind. He who has seen the sea commoved with a great hurricane, thinks of it very differently from him who has seen it only in a calm.

At that ambiguous hour, and coming as she did from the great silence of the forest, the man drew back from the Princess as from something elfin. "I am cold," she said, "and weary. Let me rest beside your fire." The woodman was visibly commoved, but answered nothing. "I will pay," she said, and then repented of the words, catching perhaps a spark of terror from his frightened eyes.
