He looked at me abstractedly, merely reëchoing my own words, “A fine night, sir, for the season of the year.” “Why look ye so sad now, who were erst so jolly?” I bluntly asked, determined to force him into conversation.
Then went she to Sir Lancelot and said, "Sir, I salute thee in King Pelles' name, and require thee to come with me into the forest hereby." Then asked he her with whom she dwelt, and what she wished of him. "I dwell with King Pelles," said she, "whom Balin erst so sorely wounded when he smote the dolorous stroke.

Apollo might speed among them his silver arrows, which erst heaped the Phrygian shores with hecatombs of Argive slain, and they would but complain of the mosquito's beak.
