So in acts of violence, where there is a wish to hurt, whether by reproach or injury; and these either for revenge, as one enemy against another; or for some profit belonging to another, as the robber to the traveller; or to avoid some evil, as towards one who is feared; or through envy, as one less fortunate to one more so, or one well thriven in any thing, to him whose being on a par with himself he fears, or grieves at, or for the mere pleasure at another's pain, as spectators of gladiators, or deriders and mockers of others.
In fact," said he, "I was just on the point of usin' profane language to the mockers and scoffers of the sarvent of the livin' God. I mean them parvarse lads and lasses aback o' the bed theor." "Amen!" interjected several saintly voices. "But, hallelujah!" resumed James, "aa felt God was ha'd'en me back!" "Glory!" shouted Adam Jefferson. "Yes, ma brethren and sistors.

And after that he arose and kissed him, and standing by his side cried, "O Cumascra Mend Macha, O stammering son of Concobar, if ever I was a shield to thee against thy mockers, come hither; and thou too come O Art Storm-Ear, and thou Art of the Shadow, and thou O Fionn of the Songs, and you O Ide and Sheeling, who were nursed at the same breast and knee with myself."
"Did the children throw sticks at the birds, or the birds pelt the children?" laughed the Doctor for poor Dodo was famous for mixing up her sentences. "No, no, Uncle Roy, neither; the children's mothers threw the sticks at the Mockers." "What else did Mammy Bun tell you?"
