Aloud she said: "Well, in your place I shouldn't be so hot, at short notice, to stand up for a man who on your own showing is a corrupter of children's minds.
But, in reality, the Odyssey, the Telemachus, and all of that kind, are to the voyage-writing I here intend, what romance is to true history, the former being the confounder and corrupter of the latter.
The Church, with strange inconsistency, proposed to canonize the man whom she had burned as a contumacious heretic and a corrupter of the people. This canonization never took place: but many Dominican Churches used a special office with his name and in his honor. A legend similar to that of S. Francis in its wealth of mythical details embalmed the memory of even the smallest details of his life.
And that it is true, that his other vertues would not have suffic'd him, we may consider in Scipio, the rarest man not only in the dayes he liv'd, but even in the memory of man; from whom his army rebel'd in Spain: which grew only upon his too much clemency, which had given way to his soldiers to become more licentious, than was well tollerable by military discipline: for which he was reprov'd by Fabius Maximus in the Senate, who termed him the corrupter of the Roman soldiery.
Weguelin's beautiful eyes were resting upon me with that disapproval I had come to know. To her, sociology and evolution and all "isms" were new-fangled inventions and murky with offense; to touch them was defilement, and in disclosing them to John Mayrant I was a corrupter of youth.

For " and then she pranced off upon that wearisome old story about the blown-up Territorial bore of le Grand Couronné.
"What! when you bade me receive and co-operate with the miserable spies the false Italians whom you sent over, and seek to entangle this poor exile, when found, in some rash correspondence to be revealed to the court; when you sought to seduce the daughter of the Count of Peschiera, the descendant of those who had ruled in Italy, into the informer, the corrupter, and the traitress, no, Giulio, then I recoiled; and then, fearful of your own sway over me, I retreated into France.
Breathless and exhausted by her exertion, she had fallen heavily before Philammon's strong arm; and lying half stunned for a while, recovered just in time to meet her doom. She knew that it was come, and faced it like herself. 'Take the witch! said Wulf slowly 'Take the corrupter of heroes the cause of all our sorrows! Miriam looked at him with a quiet smile.
But he told me, he found him a dry man. Swift. Who told who? I guess Howard told Burnet. Burnet. Swift. A word of dignity for an historian. Burnet. He was a corrupter of all that came near him. And he delivered himself up wholly to study, ease, and pleasure. Swift. Sir William Temple was a man of virtue, to which Burnet was a stranger.
Certainly, Mr. Shelley is right in his notions about old age: unless powerfully counteracted by all sorts of opposite agencies, it is a miserable corrupter and blighter to the genial charities of the human heart. Soon after this I contrived, by means which I must omit for want of room, to transfer myself to London.
