If I must shun you, if I am never more fondly to greet you, if you are no more to ride at my side, or reach me the cup of mead; if I am to lose you whom I so have loved, O laughing joy of my eyes a bridal bonfire shall blaze for you such as never yet blazed for a bride! A flaming barrier shall girdle the rock; with burning terror-signals it shall frighten away the coward.
The stranger in the chimney-corner, waving cup with the singer so heartily that his mead splashed over on the hearth, repeated in his bass voice as before: "And on his soul may God ha' mercy!"

I was bidding him farewell, when he hemmed once or twice, and said, that as he did not live far off, he hoped that I would go with him and taste some of his mead.

You may think, friends, that this was a bad defeat, but we learned afterward that we fought against two hundred and fifty men, and killed one hundred and sixteen of them. Your old friend Captain Spikeman was killed in the fight." The bowls of flip had been going round while Rogers was talking, and finally Matthew Mead said:

"Pretty Poll! Give me a cracker! Let me out and give me a cracker!" cried the green bird. "Here's one!" said Laddie, holding out a bit of cracker which he had left from a package his mother had bought for him on the train. "Look out! He might bite you!" said Laddie's father.
