He utterly disclaims persecution, that is to say, persecution as defined by himself. It would, in his opinion, be persecution to hang a Jew, or to flay him, or to draw his teeth, or to imprison him, or to fine him; for every man who conducts himself peaceably has a right to his life and his limbs, to his personal liberty and his property.
But most of the Eta followed the business of tanners and leather-dressers. They alone had the right to slaughter and flay animals, to prepare various kinds of leather, and to manufacture leather sandals, stirrup-straps, and drumheads, the making of drumheads being a lucrative occupation in a country where drums were used in a hundred thousand temples.
Whip, whack, flog, starve, rack, punish, torture Bulbo break all his bones roast him or flay him alive pull all his pretty teeth out one by one! But justly dear as Bulbo is to me, joy of my eyes, fond treasure of my soul! Ha, ha, ha, ha! revenge is dearer still. Ho! tortures, rack-men, executioners light up the fires and make the pincers hot! get lots of boiling lead! Bring out ROSALBA!
Insolent, veni et vapula!" But Amyas went on drawing. "Come hither, sirrah, or I'll flay you alive!" "Wait a bit!" answered Amyas. The old gentleman jumped up, ferula in hand, and darted across the school, and saw himself upon the fatal slate. "Proh flagitium! what have we here, villain?" and clutching at his victim, he raised the cane.
This usance, amongst many other places, was current at Palermo in Sicily, where likewise there were and are yet many women, very fair of their person, but sworn enemies to honesty, who would be and are by those who know them not held great ladies and passing virtuous and who, being given not to shave, but altogether to flay men, no sooner espy a merchant there than they inform themselves by the book of the Customs of that which he hath there and how much he can do; after which by their lovesome and engaging fashions and with the most dulcet words, they study to allure the said merchants and draw them into the snare of their love; and many an one have they aforetime lured thereinto, from whom they have wiled great part of their merchandise; nay, many have they despoiled of all, and of these there be some who have left goods and ship and flesh and bones in their hands, so sweetly hath the barberess known to ply the razor.
"Do with him what you please," replied Wanda. "Beast!" I exclaimed, utterly revolted. The Greek fixed his cold tigerish look upon me and tried out the whip. His muscles swelled when he drew back his arms, and made the whip hiss through the air. I was bound like Marsyas while Apollo was getting ready to flay me.

I tried to make them understand that if they would send some young men I should be very much obliged.
We know that it was the practice of the Persians, and even of the barbarous Scythians, to flay the corpses, and not the living forms, of criminals and of enemies; we may hope, therefore, that the Assyrians removed the skin from the dead, to use it as a trophy or as a warning, and did not inflict so cruel a torture on the living.
Strip it, flay it, skin it out of every detail but the bare color and expression, and that man will still recognize it still stop to worship " "Oh, how it makes me feel to hear dose oxpressions! "still say to himself again as he had, said a hundred times before, the art of the Saltmarsh-Handel is an art apart, there is nothing in the heavens above or in the earth beneath that resembles it, "
