'I know that if you would have helped me I would have done it in spite of papa. What right has he to domineer over me in that way? Why shouldn't I have married the man if I chose? I am old enough to know surely. You talk now of shutting up girls in convents as being a thing quite impossible. This is much worse. Papa won't do anything to help me. Why shouldn't he let me do something for myself?
But pray what do you mean by 'owning' a human being?" "I mean," said he, "having the right to abuse them, domineer over them, work them as cattle, sell them, and " "Did this Southern lady," said I, while he paused for more words, "ever acquire a right with her ownership to treat Kate so?" "Her laws," said he, "give her a right to punish her; and such irresponsible power is fearful.
But the generals at this time, as they acquired their rank by violence and not by merit, and had more occasion to employ arms against one another than against the enemies of Rome, were compelled to act the demagogue while they were in command; and by purchasing the services of the soldiers by the money which they expended to gratify them, they made the Roman state a thing for bargain and sale, and themselves the slaves of the vilest wretches in order that they might domineer over honest men.
Hypocrisy, the thriving'st calling, The only saint's-bell that rings all in: A gift that is not only able To domineer among the rabble, But by the law's empowered to rout, And awe the greatest that stand out.
Am. I should domineer. Alcan. I then should make love elsewhere. Am. Well, I find we shall not agree then. Alcan. Faith now we have disputed a point I never thought on before, I would willingly pursue it for the humour on't, not that I think I shall much approve on't. Pis. Give him your hand, Aminta, and conclude, 'Tis time this haughty humour were subdu'd.
After all that had passed, after Lord George's submission to his brother, the Dean was sure that he would be held in abhorrence by the whole Germain family. Mary would be secluded and trodden on, and reduced to pale submission by all the dragons till her life would be miserable. Lord George himself would be prone enough to domineer in such circumstances.
With all his spoiling of his children, he was still the father of the old English type. He was too wise to make laws and to domineer in the abstract. But he had kept, and all honour to him, a certain primitive dominion over the souls of his children, the old, almost magic prestige of paternity. There it was, still burning in him, the old smoky torch or paternal godhead.
Directions for church government are particularly applied by the word of Christ to his own officers: as for instance, they are directed to bind and loose to remit and retain sins on earth, Matt. xvi. 19, and xviii. 18; John xx. 21, 23. To judge them that are within the Church, not without, 1 Cor. v. 12. Not to lord it, domineer, or overrule the flock of Christ, 1 Pet. v.
What art thou, thou tremendous power Who dost inhabit us without our leave, And art, within ourselves, another self, A master self that loves to domineer? What? Conscience? That is a word to frighten children. The conscience of each man is of his own making.
If not strong, as was the other man's, it was happy and eloquent of good temper. But in one thing they were alike: neither of them counted aught on his good looks. Mountjoy had attempted to domineer by his bad temper, and had failed; but Harry, without any attempt at domineering, always doubting of himself till he had been assured of success by her lips, had succeeded.
