As he rounded a sharp corner, he ran into an enemy, who seemed as much surprised as himself at the unexpected meeting, and uttered a sudden cry of alarm. This enemy, however, was armed, and heaved up his 'morning-star' for a tremendous blow. Conrad, in his terror, sprang back several steps, and drawing his paper from his breast, called out: 'Stop! I've got a safe-conduct.
He told of new insults that had been put upon her, new deprivations of what was left to her of liberty; he did not speak now of Elizabeth by name, since a fountain, even of talk, should not give out at once sweet water and bitter; but he spoke of the day when Mary should come herself to the throne of England, and take that which was already hers; when the night should roll away, and the morning-star arise; and the Faith should come again like the flowing tide, and all things be again as they had been from the beginning.
We open the volume of Prefatory Lives, and to our astonishment the first name we find is that of Cowley! What Is become of the morning-star of English Poetry? Where is the bright Elizabethan constellation?
The morning-star is now high in the sky; the moon, declining in the west, is more than ever like a silver shield; along the east is a faint flush of pink. In the increasing light we can see the bold shores of the strait, and the square projection of Cape Porcupine below.
Pungarin hastily removed the rope, sank down and lay quite still as if in slumber. Night passed slowly on. The morning-star arose. The sun soon chased away the shadows, and brought joy to the awaking world. It even brought some degree of comfort to the comfortless on board the gun-boat.

"What is she going to do?" asked the rather forward Tufter of Rosedrop, as she came forth through the window again. "She is perplexed," said Rosedrop. "We will come for her answer to-morrow night."
Neifile coloured somewhat to receive such honour, shewing of aspect even as the fresh-blown rose of April or May in the radiance of the dawn, her eyes rather downcast, and glowing with love's fire like the morning-star.
Should we not exult in the consideration, that we, the inhabitants of a small island, at the extremity of the globe, almost at its north pole, were become the morning-star to enlighten the nations of the earth, and to conduct them out of the shades of darkness into the realms of light; thus exhibiting to an astonished and an admiring world the blessings of a free constitution?
Then this marvel came to pass, for the beautiful face could her own ever have been so beautiful? the imperial face, bent forward a little, and from the red lips came a soft voice, her own rich voice, that said: "Speak your will, Queen, and it shall be done. I, who stand here, am your servant to command, O Morning-Star, O Amen's royal child." Tua sat up in her bed and laughed at the vision.
To him that overcometh and endureth unto the end will God give the morning-star: The gift of the morning-star! Have I God's gift Of the morning-star? And Luigi will adventure forth it may be in a kind of divine folly as a doomsman commissioned by God to free his Italy. The devotion of Luria to Florence is partly of the imagination, and perhaps it is touched with something of illusion.
