Essay on Dramatick Poesy. A French hendecasyllable verse runs exactly like our ballad measure: A cobbler there was and he lived in a stall, ... La raison, pour marcher, n'a souvent qu'une voye. The verse is not a hendecasyllable. Moore's Diary, 24th April, 1821.
The Sikh is burnt after death; the Pathan would be thus deprived of Paradise. As a soldier the Pathan is a finer shot, a hardier man, a better marcher, especially on the hillside, and possibly an even more brilliant fighter.

Edward found that the territories handed over to him by his father had to be conquered before they could be administered, and Henry III.'s methods of government made it a hopeless business to find either the men or the money for the task.
In a little while they returned. "I'll do my best," I heard her say; and she ran back to join her companions. "I suppose you've seen enough of the Elysee?" "Ah! qu'elle est jolie ce soir; et elle ferait joliment marcher le Russe." We walked on in silence.
He had already got Newport, had he Swansea also he would rule the south coast from the Lloughor to the Usk. Accordingly, he declared that the custom of the march trenched upon the royal prerogative, and managed that Gower should be seized by the king's officers, as a first step towards getting it for himself. Despenser's action provoked extreme indignation among all the marcher lords.
All her soul was in her eyes. "Is that all?" she said at length as the others had said at the entrance to the town. She found she was standing hand-in-hand with Mathilde, whose face was like marble. At last, when even the crowd had passed away beneath the Grunes Thor, they turned and walked home in silence. Distinct with footprints yet Of many a mighty marcher gone that way.
