And afterward it came to pass he saw, And lov'd a woman named Delilah, Who in the vale of Sorek dwelt, to whom There did the lords of the Philistines come, And said, If thou wilt but entice him to reveal Where lies his strength, and which way we may deal With him, to bind him, to afflict him, we Each one will give a great reward to thee.
Must every woman bring to every man the curse of Delilah!... He passed out of the building into the cool, starlit night.
Five in action, with Chief Scannell and "Bummer" and "Lazarus," and perhaps Lillie Hitchcock. When we reach Washington Street we cross to make a call at the Bank Exchange in the Montgomery Block, the largest structure on the street. The "Exchange" is merely a popular saloon, but it boasts ten billiard tables and back of the bar hangs the famous picture of "Samson and Delilah."
I thought to myself: "I wonder what this charming Delilah of fifty summers wants," and got up and shook hands with her, saying: "I am that General. What can I do for 'tante'?" "No, but I never! Are you the General? Much amused by all this I asked: "What's the matter with me, then, 'tante'?" I have heard so much of you, I expected to see an old man with a long beard."
This is the class to which Milton belongs, in whose poems we have heard Mr. Coleridge say that he remembered but two proper pictures Adam bending over the sleeping Eve at the beginning of the fifth book of the "Paradise Lost," and Delilah approaching Samson towards the end of the "Agonistes."

But in truth it was a strange family for him to seek a wife in, and many were the whispered gibes the news of his courtship provoked at Edinburgh. Was this strong Samson, men asked, to fall a prey at last to a Whiggish Delilah?
Although not modeled on heroic lines, she nevertheless possessed the qualifications which most men seek in women and therefore became quite as formidable as Delilah when she chose to assert herself. To say that Mr. Yankton was dazzled but mildly expresses his feelings; he was ravished, though in no mood for banter.
"What's been done can be done again. Delilah wormed it out of Samson: why can't Sally Stubbs worm it out of Brinton?" "Cut off his hair, as the Bible woman did?" "That's too thin," said Rounders rashly, without fear of theological dogma. "That's allygory.
