But when 'twas donn'd, it was a massive chain, Such as might bind the champion of the Jews, Even when his looks were longest it hath dwindled, Hath minish'd in its substance and its strength, As sunk the greatness of the House of Avenel. When this frail thread gives way. I to the elements Resign the principles of life they lent me. Ask me no more of this! the stars forbid it."
But distant winds began to wake, And roused the Genius of the Lake! He heard the groaning of the oak, And donn'd at once his sable cloak, As warrior, at the battle-cry, Invests him with his panoply: Then, as the whirlwind nearer press'd He 'gan to shake his foamy crest O'er furrow'd brow and blacken'd cheek, And bade his surge in thunder speak. In wild and broken eddies whirl'd.

The schooner, luffing a little, ranged abreast. A hail like a metal blare came out of her. "If you donn'd heef-to we seenk you! We seenk you! By God!" Major Cowper was using abominable language beside me. Suddenly he began to call out to someone: "Go down... go down, I say." A woman's face disappeared into the hood of the companion like a rabbit's tail into its burrow.
You know that yourself discovered me, and drew me into the house, whether I would or no; otherwise, I promise you, I would not have seen your daughter till I had donn'd the new jerkin which was made at Berwick after the latest cut; nor would I have appeared before her with these weapons, which she dislikes so much.
