Whenever the magistrate, good Li Song Is short of his favorite tea, Oolong, He lays his gout and his spectacles down And hies him away into Chinatown. Into the region of Mon Lay Won, When the day of official life is done, Into the land of slant-eyed Lee's He hies him away to replenish his teas.
If there is compulsion on one side, on the other there is pleasure; on the one hand action is spurred on by want, on the other it hies to its natural fulfilment. That is why, as man's civilisation advances, he increases his obligations and the work that he willingly creates for himself.
She made good use of the happy occasion, told her in whose name she had come, and said that if she would take care to be at the window exactly at midnight, Alischar would be there at that moment, when she might easily drop upon his shoulders and regain her freedom. With this she hies away to Alischar to make him acquainted with her success.
The tree swayed back and forth as though some one was moving in its centre, and from amidst the dense foliage a voice exclaimed, "Blast yer hies, vot is yer doing?" "Here, Smith," cried Fred, "there is a cockney countryman of yours up there." "Come down," we roared. "See ye hanged first, and then I von't," repeated the voice in the tree.
All these are there, but we see not whence they come. No showers descend to make it grow; the earth is parched on all sides. Do you inquire for the source of all this loveliness? A tiny rill of water flows gently underneath. No eye sees it. You cannot hear its quiet advance, for it does not murmur as it wears itself out in its work of love. Noiseless it hies to each little rootlet.
"Julietta!" said one, "sing William the song you composed about him and the pirates." "You have composed a song about me and the pirates?" asked the youth. Julietta flushed crimson and after withdrawing shyly from his embrace she sang in a sweet, tremulous voice: Far, far away the white dove flies, In fierce pursuit the black hawk hies, The dove is my lover so dear, The hawk is the pirate I fear.
He is by no means beloved of the Bombay shop-keeper, for he is strict in his observance of the "sunna" which bids him haggle "till his forehead perspires, just as it did in winning the money". The Bombay shop-keeper commences by asking an exorbitant price for his commodities; our Memon retorts by offering the least they could possibly fetch; and the battle between the maximum and the minimum eventually settles itself somewhere about the golden mean, whereupon the Memon hies him homewards as full of satisfaction as Thackeray's Jew.
At length, however, he hies away at the sound of bell-ringing, and seems for some time to enjoy the tippling and fiddling and dancing of a village wake: but his fancy is soon haunted again by spectres and goblins, a set of beings not, in general, esteemed the companions or inspirers of mirth. With stories told of many a feat, How fairy MAB the junkets eat.
Hill had two or three. "Now let us have your favorite, Barthelemy!" he said at last, turning to the pirate chief. "I cannot sing," replied Barthelemy. "Oho! But you ought at least to learn the one which is being sung everywhere about you; for instance this: "Far, far away the white dove flies, In fierce pursuit the black hawk hies; The dove is my lover so dear, The hawk is the pirate I fear."
Making his way through the crowds and jogging elbows with the heroes of a sport that he understands only as organized combat he becomes obsessed with the spirit of the two fighting institutions. Once in possession of the coveted ticket he hies himself to the field as early as possible, if he is wise, in order to enjoy the preliminaries which are unlike those at any other game.
