And now, you mocker and flouter of what may be my bitterest misfortune why, sir, no punishment is sharp enough for you! Why do you stand there, sir? Do you dare to mock me to mock us, the person of the king?" "I mock not in the least, your Grace," said John Law, "nor do aught else that ill beseems a gentleman.
"Have you no sowl to be saved, you mocker of heaven?" cried Moran, Put completely beside himself by this last injury "Would you rob the poor as well as desave the world? O, was ever such wickedness known?"
Not that they all do it oh, no, many have only their own beautiful natural song; every Mockingbird has not the power of imitation, but certain members of the tribe acquire a knack of mockery of which they seem quite conscious. "The Sage Thrasher, though gentle and sociable in its wild state, does not thrive in cages as well as the true Mocker.
You killed my mother, slew my father, sent me out into the world a worthless vagabond, until I find myself a son without parents, a man without friends, a wanderer without a home, a human being without sympathy, and a pauper without bread. Deceiver, mocker, robber, murderer I hate you! Oh, for one hour of my old-time strength, that I might slay you!
You might make an allegory out of my career and entitle it 'The Mocker's Progress." I paused for a second or two, and then said suddenly, "Why did you from the first refuse to believe what everybody else does before I had the chance of looking you in the eyes?" She averted her face.

"He's perfectly satisfied with his own song." Before she could add anything further the clear whistle of Glory the Cardinal sounded from a tree just a little way off.
The tufted titmouse called as loudly and constantly all day as though no mocking-bird shouted his peculiar and easily imitated call from the house-top; the cardinal grosbeak sang every day in the grove, though the mocker copied him more closely than any other bird. He repeats the notes, rattles out the call, but he cannot put the cardinal's soul into them.
Fierce eyed and scant of breath, Beltane redoubled his blows, striving to beat his mocker to the earth, whereat he but laughed again, saying: "Look to thy long legs, dullard!" and forthwith smote Beltane upon the leg. "Now thine arm, slothful boy thy left arm!" and he smote Beltane upon the arm.
