And thou, too, friend Ethiop," the King continued, "what thou dost do quickly, and return hither within the half-hour."
On my way to the Nile to fetch water with which to prepare the wine-cup, I have just met a man who, in his haste, nearly ran over me. It is called by one traveller the champagne among the waters. It was an Ethiop, one of Phanes' boatmen, and he tells that just as he sprang out of the boat to bathe, a royal bark came alongside and a soldier asked the rest of the crew in whose service they were.
Collier's Corrected Folio of 1632. We cannot agree with him in a reading which seems to us to destroy all the point of the passage. Mr. White chooses to read "Thou, for whom Jove would swear Juno but an Ethiop were," rather than accept Pope's suggestion of "ev'n Jove," or the far better "great Jove" of Mr.
Agias, victorious, but with not a whole rag on his back, rose from his contest. "Sesostris! help him!" cried Artemisia, trying in vain to get some response from the motionless form by the bench. Agias looked at the Ethiop. The hard wood had struck the top of his skull, and death must have been instantaneous.
He will ride straight; and, if possible, he will like it. But the Ethiop cannot change his skin, nor can any man add a cubit to his stature. He doesn't like it, and all around him in the field know how it is with him; he himself knows how it is with others like himself, and he congregates with his brethren. The period of his penance has come upon him.
Claudio, regarding the solemn promise he had made to Leonato, said, he would marry this unknown lady, even though she were an Ethiop: but his heart was very sorrowful, and he passed that night in tears, and in remorseful grief, at the tomb which Leonato had erected for Hero.
Yes, they saw it indeed; but too high to dare try to pluck it. Only I, if you don't greatly mind, will be the bold tree-climber and pluck the apple." "But I do mind," cried Artemisia, all blushes, and springing a little back. Old Sesostris looked alarmed. "You you mean the girl no ill?" he faltered. Agias looked from the innocent little thing over to the Ethiop, snapped his finger, and replied:

Charley was pleased with my comparing the face of the small Ethiop known to his household as "Tines" to a huckleberry with features. He also approved my parallel between a certain German blonde young maiden whom, we passed in the street and the "Morris White" peach. But he was so good-humored at times, that, if one scratched a lucifer, he accepted it as an illumination.
