Alas! how I think of thee there, shivering out in the cold, Till my own bright fire lacketh the heat which it gave! Oh, would I could see thee again, as in days gone by, Sitting hands over the fire, or poking it to a bright blaze And clearing the cloggy ash from the bars in thy careful ways! Oh, art thou the more cold or here by the fire am I?
It looks to me, from the words you read, as if our Lord lacketh not penances and prayers, and good works; He only wants me, and that by reason that He loveth me. And why all this weary life hath been mine, He knoweth, and I am content to leave it so, if only He will take me up in His arms as the shepherd doth the sheep, and will suffer me to rest my weariness there. Do I err, Father?"
For the need that I behold, one priest is not as good as another. It is not a mass that my Lady needeth to be sung; it is counsel that she lacketh." "Then let Father Jordan counsel her." "Sir, he cannot." "Cannot! What for, trow? Hath he lost his wits or his tongue?" "No, he hath lost nothing, for that which he lacketh I count he never had, or so little thereof that it serveth not in this case.
My spirit is like that of the blessed Elihu, it burns within me my bowels are as wine which lacketh vent they are ready to burst like new bottles. O, that He may look after His ain people in this day of judgment and deliverance! And now, what ailest thou, precious Mr Gabriel Kettledrummle?
Now think I that, just as no comfort can serve to the man who lacketh wit and faith, whatsoever counsel be given, so to those who have both I have, as for this kind, said in manner enough already.
"Another shall carry thee whither thou wouldest not: this spake He, signifying by what death he should glorify God." "He that lacketh these things is blind and short-sighted, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins." 2 PETER i. 9.
But for your just proof, weigh six rubbles of Russian money with our pound weight, and then shall you see what it lacketh; for six rubbles of Russia is, by the Emperor's standard, the great pound. So that I think it the next way to know the just weight as well of the great pound as of the small.
Cried he: "Hail, noble brother, and likewise the good God bless thee! Hast slept well, it lacketh scarce an hour to sundown, and therefore should'st eat well. How say ye now to a toothsome haunch o' cold venison, in faith, cunningly cooked and sufficiently salted and seasoned ha? And mark me! with a mouthful of malmsey, ripely rare?
Armies they led and puissant men and gained them gold galore; * Then left their wealth and palaces by Pate compelled to flee, To straitness of the grave-yard and humble bed of dust * Whence, pledged for every word and deed, they never more win free: As a company of travellers had unloaded in the night * At house that lacketh food nor is o'erfain of company: Whose owner saith, 'O folk, there be no lodging here for you; * So packed they who had erst unpacked and fared hurriedly: Misliking much the march, nor the journey nor the halt * Had aught of pleasant chances or had aught of goodly greet Then prepare thou good provision for to-morrow's journey stored, * Naught but righteous honest life shall avail thee with the Lord!"
The devil a man will encounter one whose name is terrible, and I fear I may never have the luxury of a good fight again. This day I expected to have fleshed my good sword. To-morrow is my wedding-day. How glorious would it have been to have made it also a day of victory! I could almost hack these unconscious trees for very spite, and to give my sword the exercise it lacketh."
