A crossing sweeper, if he fancies that. Buy him a crossing and a broom, you know." "But really, what he likes; not joking?" "Sober earnest. I'll see to-morrow, and tell you. Now, will you kindly find that place you were looking for when we were so inopportunely interrupted with irrelevant moralisings." "I won't do it again," said his father deprecatingly. "I apologise."
Then he stopped and felt a little as if he had been preaching a sermon to the girl. 'Come, she broke in upon his moralisings, 'if I am so dreadfully young, at least I'll have the benefit of my immaturity.
The portents of the eventful year 1382 called forth moralisings in English verse, and the pestilence of 1391 a rhymed lamentation in Latin; and at different dates in King Richard's reign the poet Gower, Chaucer's contemporary and friend, inveighed both in Latin and in English, from his conservative point of view, against the corruption and sinfulness of society at large.
Instead of this I have heard, as I have said and I repeat it without fear of contradiction nothing but one-idea appeals and mere moralisings upon duty to others, which a child and the veriest tyro could not fail therein; and I have culminated or rather it has been culminated to me in a covert attack upon my private affairs and my way of conducting my private business in a manner which I could not overlook.

He indulges in no lugubrious moralisings he is far too agreeable a person for that but exhibits just the required touch of romance by letting you know that in his past there is a sadness which a career of excitement and danger is necessary to enable him to forget.
And there was little beyond this in Crabbe's moralisings on the respective functions of theology, history, poetry, and the rest, as represented on the shelves of a library, and on the blessings of literature to the heart when wearied with business and the cares of life. Crabbe's verses on such topics are by no means ineffective. He had caught perfectly the trick of the school so soon to pass away.
'Parents who never showed their love, complain of want of natural affection in their children; children who never showed their duty, complain of want of natural feeling in their parents; law-makers who find both so miserable that their affections have never had enough of life's sun to develop them, are loud in their moralisings over parents and children too, and cry that the very ties of nature are disregarded.
