In other respects the reception should be as magnificent as possible, "and I beseech you," he concluded, "keep out of the court, deux sortes de gens, the imperialists, and the wits and mockers; the English can endure neither of them." Through the tone of this language the contempt is easily visible with which the affair was regarded in the French court.
"Yes, mockers, they sung so sweet, especial in the evenings, you know and I'm so d d romantic always was thataway and you know, why, a fellow can be romantic on his honeymoon, can't he? he can just cut loose then an' be as big a d n fool as he likes then an' get away with it, what? Say, can't he?" "Yes." "So that's why I came." "But honeymoon? Are you going to be married?" "Naw!
Gambled! Gambled! And some, abandoned wretches! who mocked me! Lifted up their voices and mocked! Mockers, gamblers, slumberers!" I never heard anything so awful as the man Dimpdin's voice, at the iteration of these three words. They seemed to come from the bowels of the earth, and rang through the wood like the growl of a lion.
Freneli chides Elsie for breaking her promise to Uli, and the latter is at first completely stunned, overwhelmed with chagrin, rage, and disappointment. He is only saved from some act of rash folly by Freneli, who counsels him to put the mockers off the track by pretending utter indifference.
Yet such people were in the right, and their mockers were in the wrong, and their patient persistence in going out of town for the summer in the face of severe discouragements has multiplied indefinitely the kinds of summer resorts, and reformed them altogether.
Towards sundown, that modern Agora rang with the voices of orators, swarmed with listeners, with disputants, with mockers, with indifferent loungers. The circle closing about an agnostic lecturer intersected with one gathered for a prayer-meeting; the roar of an enthusiastic total-abstainer blended with the shriek of a Radical politician.
These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

'You do this perhaps with a good intention, said the Cardinal; 'but in my opinion, it were wiser in you, and perhaps better for you, not to engage in so ridiculous a contest with a fool. 'No, my lord, answered he, 'that were not wisely done; for Solomon, the wisest of men, said, "Answer a fool according to his folly;" which I now do, and show him the ditch into which he will fall, if he is not aware of it; for if the many mockers of Elisha, who was but one bald man, felt the effect of his zeal, what will become of one mocker of so many friars, among whom there are so many bald men?
He takes account of it, and will one day recompense it, because He is the world's King, and will be its Judge. Where shall we stand then among the silenced mockers, or among the happy trusters in His Passion and subjects of His dominion? 'Then Herod questioned with Him in many words; but He answered him nothing. LUKE xxiii. 9. Four Herods play their parts in the New Testament story.
Her marriage vow was itself sinful, and the god of Virtue is a detestable tyrant. In the other poem, which is a sort of antidote to the first, we hear of a poet, born in Arcadia, who surrendered his claim to earthly bliss on the promise of a reward in heaven. He gave up his all, even his Laura, to Virtue, though mockers called him a fool for believing in gods and immortality.
