"Yevgeny Vassilyitch is still living? You are his father? I have a doctor with me." "Benefactress!" cried Vassily Ivanovitch; and snatching her hand, he prest it convulsively to his lips; while the doctor brought by Anna Sergyevna, a little man in spectacles, of German physiognomy, stept very deliberately out of the carriage. "Still living, my Yevgeny is still living, and now he will be saved!
Now commeth his speciall helpe: yea, euen when man thinks them past all helpe then commeth he himselfe downe from heauen with his mightie power, then is his present remedie most readie prest.

In this way the whole island was ringed in by gangs on shore, just as it was similarly ringed in by other gangs afloat. "If their Lordships would give me authority to press here," says Lieut.

The insidious King sees well the tempting hour, Favouring his arms against the Persian power, And thence, in haste, the enterprise to share, Twelve thousand veterans selects with care; To Húmán and Bármán the charge consigns, And thus his force with Samengán combines; But treacherous first his martial chiefs he prest, To keep the secret fast within their breast: "For this bold youth must not his father know, Each must confront the other as his foe Such is my vengeance!

Oh! press me with thy little hand; It loosens something at my chest About that tight and deadly band I feel thy little fingers prest. The breeze I see is in the tree! It comes to cool my babe and me."
A being never seen before, Which human mother never bore! And can the hoary locks of age, A youthful heart like thine engage? Must thy enchanting form be prest To such a dubious monster's breast? And all thy beauty's rich array, Thy peerless charms be thrown away?" This violent remonstrance was more calculated to rouse the indignation of Rúdábeh than to induce her to change her mind.

I have, however, made no deductions from the 'prest' total to meet these cases.
