And did Shakspeare himself, in his life, ever hearken to such applause as thundered round the personators of his airy images? Vague children of the most transient of the arts, fleet shadows on running waters, though thrown down from the steadfast stars, were ye not happier than we who live in the Real? How strange you must feel in the great circuit that ye now take through eternity!
The personators of your ancestors feast and drink; No troubles will be theirs after this. Perhaps the response of the feasted personators of the ancestors. Of our admirable, amiable sovereign Most illustrious is the excellent virtue. This piece may have been composed by him, but there is no evidence in it that it was so.

I enjoyed nothing more than these performances; and my mother, who witnessed several of them during one of her visits, afterwards said that it was surprising how well we had managed the affair and acted our parts. For a long time I was the moving spirit in this play, and we had no lack of talented mimes, personators of sentimental heroes, and droll comedians.
Each defeated archer was obliged to drink a large cup of spirits as a penalty. This guest was, it is supposed, the eldest of all the scions of the royal House present on the occasion. At this point, he presented a cup to the chief among the personators of the ancestors, and received one in return.
Early Chinese works prescribe that during the performance of ancestral rites, the ghosts are to be represented by people known as the personators of the dead who receive the offerings and are supposed to be temporarily possessed by spirits and to be their mouthpieces.

The pines were carried off and placed in the shade of a pine tree, that the disease might not leave the pine and return to the invalid. The personators of Hasjelti and Hostjoghon adorned themselves for the ceremony.
They became a race of jesters, moonlight masqueraders, personators of the dead. They instituted clubs and paraded by hundreds, the trained cavalry of a ghostly army organized into companies, battalions, divisions, departments, having at their head the "Grand Wizard of the Empire."
As each wreath was taken off the clusters were partly separated with the stone knife. Tobaidischinni assisted Naiyenesgony by holding the wreaths while they were being cut. When all the evergreen had been removed the personators of the gods exclaimed, "Now, my people, we have killed all enemies!" and immediately left the lodge.
The officer of prayer had in the first place obtained, or professed to have obtained, this answer of the progenitors from their personators. The music now announced that the sacrificial service in the temple was ended.
Towards the end of the sacrificial service, the eldest son of the king joined in pledging the representatives of their ancestors. The King is an affluent of the Wei, not far from Wu's capital of Hao. The personators of your ancestors feast and are happy. Your spirits are clear; Your viands are fragrant.
