But the cries rang in his soul, and the day was like night to him. "This has been a sore business," said he. "Let me get forth out of the wood, and see the good that I have done to others." He thought to leave the fetter where it lay, but when he turned to go, his mind was otherwise. So he stooped and put the gyve in his bosom; and the rough iron galled him as he went, and his bosom bled.
Every Man, the principal personage of the piece, is an allegorical representation of all mankind; and the purpose of the play is told in this sentence, which introduces it: "Here begynneth a Treatyse how the Hye Fader of Heven sendeth Dethe to somon every creature to come & gyve a count of theyr lyves in this worlde, & is in maner of a Morall Playe."
Well, well; perhaps if you had not been painted, you would have been more frightened still." So soon as the child began to speak, the gyve was riveted; and the boys and girls limped about their play like convicts. Doubtless it was more pitiable to see and more painful to bear in youth; but even the grown folk, besides being very unhandy on their feet, were often sick with ulcers.
So then, when he asked his way of any man, he showed the bright sword naked; and at that the gyve on the man's ankle rang and answered in his stead; and the word was still Straight on. But the man, when his gyve spoke, spat and struck at Jack, and threw stones at him as he went away; so that his head was broken.
"What have you done?" she cried. "What is this that you have done? "Dear mother, it is not these that I have smitten," said Jack; "it was but the enchanter in their shape. And even if I had, it would not prove that a man should wear a gyve on his right leg." And at this the appearance gobbled like a turkey.
But now you are satisfied; and we may go home to dinner arm in arm." "O dear no!" said Jack. "I am not satisfied yet." "How!" cried his uncle. "Are you not warmed by the fire? Does not this food sustain you?" "I see the food to be wholesome," said Jack; "and still it is no proof that a man should wear a gyve on his right leg." Now at this the appearance of his uncle gobbled like a turkey.
In the way he met the appearance of his father; and his father was incensed, and railed upon him, and called to him upon his duty, and bade him be home, while there was yet time. "For you can still," said he, "be home by sunset; and then all will be forgiven." "God knows," said Jack, "I fear your anger; but yet your anger does not prove that a man should wear a gyve on his right leg."
Well, well; perhaps, if you had not been painted, you would have been more frightened still." So soon as the child began to speak, the gyve was riveted; and the boys and girls limped about their play like convicts. Doubtless it was more pitiable to see and more painful to bear in youth; but even the grown folk, besides being very unhandy on their feet, were often sick with ulcers.
Well, you can't fall; stay where you are a minute." I remember the uproar of the elements while Raffles was gone; no other sound mingled with it; not the opening of a single window, not the uplifting of a single voice. Then came Raffles with soap and water, and the gyve was wheedled from one wrist, as you withdraw a ring for which the finger has grown too large.
To lack is to gyve pow'r to thee daemon; and surelie to fayvor the Evill Thynge. You see, the very shape of the ring was significant; and I determined to test it. "I unmade the pentacle, for it must be made afresh and around the one to be protected.
