He felt not for the fathers whose children were thus taken from their wigwams, and committed to the grave of the roaring waters. Calma, his wife, had fallen by a foeman's arrow, and in the blood of his enemies he had terribly avenged his bereavement. Fifteen years had passed since then, and the infant which Calma left had matured into a beautiful maiden.
"I am dying, Egypt, dying! Hark! the insulting foeman's cry. They are coming! quick! my falchion!! Let me front them ere I die. Ah! no more amid the battle Shall my heart exulting swell Isis and Osiris guard thee Cleopatra! Rome! Farewell!" "Good!" "Bully!" "Go ahead, Jack!" "Give us some more, old fellow!" And he generally did, much to everybody's satisfaction.
Now Face-of-god found that he was the nethermost, for if he was strong, yet was his foe stronger; the axe had flown out of his hand also, while the strange man still kept a hold of his short-sword; and presently, though he still struggled all he could, he saw the man draw back his hand to smite with the said sword; and at that nick of time the foeman's knee was on his breast, his left hand was doubled back behind him, and his right wrist was gripped hard in the stranger's left hand.
The Warriors sing: Show we the Sunlight the Gift of the Mother, As foot follows foot to the foeman's den! Gleam Sun, breathe Wind, on the Anvil's Brother, For bare is the hammered Death of Men. Therewith they shook their naked swords in the air, and fared on eagerly, and as swiftly as the pass would have them fare.
The comic Muse, we see, disdained not the name, nor refused it the hospitality of the boards; and parents took no shame to give it to their daughters. Tragedy goes further and speaks of the fly in high terms of praise, as witness the following: Foul shame the little fly, with might courageous, Should leap upon men's limbs, athirst for blood, But men-at-arms shrink from the foeman's steel!
Collingwood's line was the first to come into action, Nelson steering more to the north, that the flight of the enemy to Cadiz, in case of their defeat, should be prevented. Straight for the centre of the foeman's line steered the Royal Sovereign, taking her station side by side with the Santa Anna, which she engaged at the muzzle of her guns.
His countenance, grim with warpaint, grimmer with ferocious exultation, was distinctly perceived, the bright blaze of the fire shining through the gaps of the hovel, so as to illuminate every feature; and Roland, as he strove in vain to clutch at the uplifted arm so as to avert the threatened blow, could distinguish every motion of the weapon, and every change of his foeman's visage.
But though He had 'sold' them, He had not done with them; for it was not only the foeman's hand that struck them, but God's 'hand was against them, and its grip crushed them. His judgments were not occasional, but continuous, and went with them 'whithersoever they went out. Everything went wrong with them; there were no gleams breaking the black thunder-cloud.
"Face down!" commanded the king. This was the command to put the offender to death. A dozen sprang to execute the order. Kamiole tugged the javelin out of his foeman's body and hurled it at the king.
The Spanish commander, when he rallied his men farther back at the springs, asked Nick Johnson who his captain was. "Drake of Plymouth!" cried Nick; "and take heed to it, ye dirty Papist. Ye'll regret this business before sunset!" And the soldiers were of their foeman's opinion. Their leader deemed discretion the better part of valour.
