Don Juan, ix., 78.
The place was well shelter'd from the wind that rock'd the treetops, and I fear'd to go much further, for we might come on open country at any moment and so double our peril. It seem'd best, therefore, to lay the old gentleman snugly in the bottom of this dingle and wait for day.
Sedgwick always gave time: Lord Mounteney's gem'man says the system's bad, and so he'll put an end to it; and so all's gone, your honour; all's gone, and I'm mortal fear'd the good man's beside himself." "And who is Lord Mounteney's man of business?" "Mr. Stapylton Toad," sobbed the good dame.

According to these passages for "feared" he says "frozen" and "fear" he calls "freezing." Evil effects, he distinguishes in these ways. But Jove, high-throned, the soul of Ajax filled with fear.
Margaret Matthieu a Cloth-worker's Wife at Tholouse in France, in the Year 1653, and towards the Ninth Month of her Reckoning, had the Pains of Woman's Labour upon her at Church; and some part of the Waters being already voided, she acquainted the People about her, that she fear'd she should be Deliver'd in the Church.
