But know, brave Prince, as by your perseverance, valour, and judgment you have overcome her and her enchantments, it is destined that you shall become the seventh and most renowned of all, and so I hail you as `Saint George of Merrie England. Thus you shall be called for ages yet to come, wherever England's might and England's deeds throughout the world are known."
"A Merrie Christmas to you! For we serve the Lord with mirth. And we carol forth glad tidings Of our holy Saviour's birth. So we keep the olden greeting, With its meaning deep and true, And wish a Merrie Christmas And a Happy New Year to you. Oh, yes! 'a Merrie Christmas, With blithest song and smile, Bright with the thought of Him who dwelt On earth a little while,
Even now, in the middle of the twentieth century, some still hold that it is a by-product of fresh air and good liquor. The Old and Merrie England indubitably procured it from those elements. Some, again, imagine it to follow from high thinking and low living, while no mean number believe that it depends on women." "Their absence or their presence?" asked the Angel, with interest.
We then sailed away, arriving after many years' absence at the Port of Bristol in Merrie England, where I took leave of the "Jolly Roger," that being the name of my ship; it was a strange conceit of seamen in after years ever to call the device of my FLAG to wit, a skull and bones made in the sign of a Cross by the NAME my ship bore, and if I have only corrected the misuse of history by lying knaves, I shall be content with this writing.

It's a kind of political gospel that's no better than the creed of the Malay who runs amuck.
The nineteenth century is forgotten, and I am a belted Knight of Merrie England who has stormed your castle and won you by his prowess. You stood in your window, high up in your tower, and threw me a rose, while your father stalked about the ramparts and swore that my bones should whiten on the beach. I raised the rose to my lips, dashed across the drawbridge, and hurled my lance at the gates.
God send us more men like John Clarke, to show us the way through this tangle of perplexities!" "You will come and hear us sing our 'merrie katches' from the tower, sweet ladies.
The last and the richest month of summer had commenced, but the harvest was not yet begun, and deep and golden showed the vegetation of life, bedded among the dark verdure of the hedge-rows, and "the merrie woods!" The evening was serene and lulled; at a distance arose the spires and chimneys of the town, but no sound from the busy hum of men reached the ear.
Laurence Aldersey, who set out from London in 1581, was the first Protestant who encountered the perils of a voyage to Syria. In the Levant a Turkish galley hove in sight, and caused great alarm. The master, "being a wise fellow, began to devise how to escape the danger; but, while both he and all of us were in our dumps, God sent us a merrie gale of wind."
