Then shall he never win worship, said Queen Guenever, for an it happeth an envious man once to win worship he shall be dishonoured twice therefore; and for this cause all men of worship hate an envious man, and will shew him no favour, and he that is courteous, and kind, and gentle, hath favour in every place.
I am not a silly dove, that I should be so. Chide me not, old woman, to tug at my bond. I am an eagle." "Ah, well, Dame!" said Perrote, with a sigh. "The will of God must needs be done." "I marvel if man's will be alway God's, in sooth. Folks say, whatever happeth, `God's will be done. Is everything His will? the evil things no less than the good?
And if it happeth in any wise that his foot maketh noise, treading upon anything, then he chasteneth that foot with hard biting.... I have read in a book that a string made of a wolf's gut, put among harp strings made of the guts of sheep, destroyeth and corrupteth them, as the eagle's feathers put among culvours', pulleth and gnaweth them, if they be there left together long in one place.
For when we be fain ourselves to flee, we may make shift to carry some of our money with us, whereas of our land we cannot carry one inch.

But though he can be content for God's sake to forbear it thenceforth, yet not only can he not weep for every sin that is past, but some were haply so wanton that when he happeth to remember them he can scantly forbear to laugh. Now, if contrition and sorrow of heart be so requisite of necessity to remission, many a man should stand, it seemeth, in a very perilous state.
ANTHONY: That I believe well, cousin, and the more pity it is. For that affection happeth in very few without the cause being either lack of faith, lack of hope, or finally lack of wit. Those who believe not the life to come after this, and think themselves here in wealth, are loth to leave this life, for then they think they lose all.
VINCENT: Verily, he might in conscience do no less. VINCENT: How happed it, uncle, that that good law was left unmade? ANTHONY: How happed it? As it happeth, cousin, that many more be left unmade as well as that one, and almost as good as it too, both here and in other countries and sometimes some that are worse be made in their stead.
Quoth they, "O my lady, by Allah the All-Father, this is not he who seeketh thee in marriage, for he is hideous and this man is handsome and of high degree. Said they, "How happeth it that thou art on guard at the palace and yet men come in to us, whilst we are asleep?"
