Four little craft in a group, with twenty-four men in them, silently waiting for battle with one of the mightiest of God's creatures one that was indeed a terrible foe to encounter were he but wise enough to make the best use of his opportunities. Against him we came with our puny weapons, of which I could not help reminding myself that "he laugheth at the shaking of a spear."
The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold, the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon: he esteemeth iron as straw; the arrow cannot make him flee; darts are counted as stubble; he laugheth at the shaking of a spear!" This the creature? this he? Oh! that unfulfilments should follow the prophets.
'She laugheth at the time to come'; that is, she is able to look forward without dread of poverty, because she has realised a competent sum. Such looking forward may be like that of the rich man in the parable, a piece of presumption, but it may also be compatible with devout recognition of God's providence.
"Who among you can at the same time laugh and be exalted? "He who climbeth on the highest mountains, laugheth at all tragic plays and tragic realities." ZARATHUSTRA, I., "Reading and Writing." Then, when it was about midnight, Zarathustra went his way over the ridge of the isle, that he might arrive early in the morning at the other coast; because there he meant to embark.
There is little to distinguish a king from his subjects but the rabble's shout if he loses that and is reduced to the forlorn hope of gaining the suffrages of the wise and good, he is of all men the most miserable. But enough of this. Janus Weathercock, Esq., laugheth to scorn and spitefully entreateth and hugely condemneth my dramatic criticisms in the London, for a like exquisite reason.
Curse, and Belsaye shall out-curse thee; laugh, and Belsaye laugheth at thee " "Sacrilege!" gasped the Prior, "O 'tis base sacrilege! 'Tis a vile, unhallowed city and shall go up in flame " "And thou," cried Giles, "thou art a fiery churchman and shall be cooled. Ho, Rogerkin loose off!"
