"Child," said I, "don't tremble so the beasts are gone!" "Yes, I know I heard everything, Peregrine. And you down there all alone to fight them in the dreadful dark!
Clusters of fruit and flowers hung from the drooping branches, and the aroma of a thousand sweet-scented shrubs was wafted upon the night air. We felt its narcotic influence as we rode along.

The old, old error: I love the earth, therefore the earth loves me I am her child I am Man, the favoured of all creatures. I am the centre, and all for me was made. In time past, strong of foot, I walked gaily up the noble hill that leads to Beachy Head from Eastbourne, joying greatly in the sun and the wind.
For thee also, Olympian victor, I pray that, joying in the steeds Poseidon gave, thou mayest bear with thee to the end a serene old age, and may thy sons, O Psaumis, be at thy side.

And as the many tribes of feathered birds, wild geese or cranes or long-necked swans, on the Asian mead by Kaystrios' stream, fly hither and thither joying in their plumage, and with loud cries settle ever onwards, and the mead resounds; even so poured forth the many tribes of warriors from ships and huts into the Skamandrian plain.
And sleeping thus, dreamed myself young again and playing with the child Damaris, thrilling to the clasp of her little, childish hands, joying in the tones of her clear, sweet child voice she that grown up I knew for none other than Joan Brandon. "Lord love me, shipmate, here's you to hang at peep o' day and a-smiling in your dreams!" "What Adam!" says I, sitting up.
Pierce, the surgeon, was with me; and tells me how this business of my Lord Chancellor's was certainly designed in my Lady Castlemayne's chamber; and that, when he went from the King on Monday morning, she was in bed, though about twelve o'clock, and ran out in her smock into her aviary looking into White Hall garden; and thither her woman brought her her nightgown; and stood joying herself at the old man's going away: and several of the gallants of White Hall, of which there were many staying to see the Chancellor return, did talk to her in her birdcage; among others, Blancford, telling her she was the bird of paradise.
