How be I ever a-goin' 'bout 'mongst the folks at the settlement agin with my darter married ter a Kittredge? How Josiah an' his dad mus' be a-grinnin' in thar graves at me this night!

One word and he throws off divinity Is flesh and blood, and dies, and is beloved! SEMELE. Would Zeus do that? ZEUS. Speak, Semele! What more? Apollo's self confesses that 'tis bliss To be a man 'mongst men a sign from thee, And I'm a man! Ask! but ask!
"Ef all the foxes on the mounting war ter hold a pertracted meet'n, jes' ter pleasure you-uns, thar wouldn't be enough scalps an' ears 'mongst 'em ter make up the money ye hanker fur ter buy a horse." To buy a horse was the height of Birt's ambition.
"Alas! shall then I, of thy sons the most true, Shall I, 'mongst them all, be forgotten alone?" Thus loudly he cried in his anguish, and threw Himself in despair before Jupiter's throne. "If thou in the region of dreams didst delay, Complain not of me," the Immortal replied; "When the world was apportioned, where then wert thou, pray?" "I was," said the poet, "I was by thy side!"
"Now, 'mongst white folks, you knows a preachah 'mongst de ladies is mos' nigh i'sistible, but 'mongst col'ed dey ain't no pos'ble way to git erroun' de gospel man w'en he go ahuntin' fu' anything."

There stands a dwelling, vast and tall, On unseen columns fair; No wanderer treads or leaves its hall, And none can linger there.
