To orisons, the midnight bell Had toll'd each silent inmate from his cell; The hour was come to muse or pray, Or work mysterious rites that shun the day: My steps some whis'pring influence led, Up to yon pine-clad mountain's gloomy head: Hollow and deep the gust did blow, And torrents dash'd into the vales below.
Behn, a good play and lasted six days'. This, it must be remembered, was by no means a poor run at that time. Otway the poet having an inclination to turn actor; Mrs. Behn gave him the King in this play for a probation part, but he being not us'd to the stage, the full house put him to such a sweat and tremendous agony, being dash'd, spoilt him for an actor. To quote Mr.
"Jack they have horses outside! Leave me I am ta'en and ride, dear lad ride!" In a flash my decision was taken, for better or worse. I dash'd out around the house, vaulted the gate, and catching at Molly's mane, leap'd into the saddle. A dozen troopers were at the gate, and two had their pistols levell'd. "Surrender!" "Be hang'd if I do!" I set my teeth and put Molly at the low wall.
They were Kilpatrick's cavalry; were in the rear, part of Meade's retreat, and the reb cavalry, knowing the ground and taking a favorable opportunity, dash'd in between, cut them off, and shell'd them terribly. But Kilpatrick turn'd and brought them out mostly. It was last Sunday. Oct. 27, 1863.
The worm of grief had never preyed On the forsaken love-sick maid: Nor had she mourn'd a hapless flame, Nor dash'd on rocks her tender frame. My mistress paid me a cold compliment on the versification, which, she said, was elegant enough, but, the subject beneath the pen of a true poet.
These I tried to cheer, told them the camp they were to reach was only a little way further over the hill, and so got them up and started, accompanying some of the worst a little way, and helping them, or putting them under the support of stronger comrades. May 21. They dash'd along pretty fast, in wide close ranks, all spatter'd with mud; no holiday soldiers; brigade after brigade.
"Be shot if I do!" said I in a passion; and pulling out a handful from my pocket, I dash'd them down in the road. For a moment the Captain took his pistol from my face, and stooped to clutch at the golden coins as they trickled and ran to right and left. The next, I had struck out with my right fist, and down he went staggering. His pistol dropped out of his hand and exploded between my feet.
The cook made the policeman a present of a china punch-bowl which Mrs. "I'm dash'd if she ain't taken the little French clock, too," said the page, and so indeed Mrs. Walker had; it slipped in the basket where it lay enveloped in one of her shawls, and then struck madly and unnaturally a great number of times, as Morgiana was lifting her store of treasures out of the hackney-coach.
"Before these fields were shorn and till'd, Full to the brim our rivers flow'd; The melody of waters fill'd The fresh and boundless wood; And torrents dash'd, and rivulets play'd, And fountains spouted in the shade." Bryant
Sudden the Aenian's fierce and headlong steeds Broke from the bit and, as the seventh time now The course was circled, on the Libyan car Dash'd their wild fronts: then order changed to ruin: Car crashed on car the wide Crissaean plain Was, sealike, strewn with wrecks: the Athenian saw, Slackened his speed, and, wheeling round the marge, Unscathed and skilful, in the midmost space, Left the wild tumult of that tossing storm.
