"Old man," said he, concluding the potation with a deep-drawn sigh, "fill to thyself-drink till thy veins feel young." Ximen obeyed the mandate but imperfectly; the wine just touched his lips, and the goblet was put aside. "Ximen," resumed the Israelite, "how many of our race have been butchered by the avarice of the Moorish kings since first thou didst set foot within the city?"
There is great competition among the incompetent to get lucrative posts in my native land: they probably appreciate the Hibernian eccentricity of giving important positions to the men whose claims in any other country would never obtain a moment's consideration. There was a schoolmaster near Castleisland, who died of sparing the rod but not sparing the potation.
"To your health, Harût and Marût," I said, drinking a little out of the pannikin and giving the rest to Hans, who gulped the fiery liquor down with a smack of his lips. For I will admit that I joined in this unholy midnight potation to gain time for thought and to steady my nerve.
I took a draught of the water, which was very cold and tasteless, and reminded the monk of his disorder in the reins, to which a similar potation might possibly be efficacious.

While history with her comrade ale, Soothes the sad series of her serious tale For as this is the liquor of modern historians, nay, perhaps their muse, if we may believe the opinion of Butler, who attributes inspiration to ale, it ought likewise to be the potation of their readers, since every book ought to be read with the same spirit and in the same manner as it is writ.
We therefore conclude that the use of this potation was more restrained, and that it was with simple element diluted into a composition adapted to his taste and years.
This potation was regularly presented by Willy every half-hour, as directed, to his commanding officer, who, if it was too sweet, or not sweet enough, or if he could not drink the whole, invariably, and much to the annoyance of our hero, threw the remainder into his face, telling him that was his share of it.
This done, the man bade you do certain other things with the potation, and went away" the Colonel hesitated a moment "and never came back again."
