With hideous squint the railer leered: on one foot he was lame; Forward before his narrow chest his hunching shoulders came; Slanting and sharp his forehead rose, with shreds of meagre hair.
Rosa turned her astonished eyes upon the railer, and, with a comic movement of immense dignity, drew her arm from his sheltering elbow, and, in tones of freezing hauteur retorted: "And since when, sir, are you master of my conduct? I am my own mistress, I believe. I shall kiss whom I please." "O Rosa, Rosa, I didn't mean that; I don't know what I meant. I O Rosa, don't be fretful with me now!
She sang it to the tune of ‘Cease, rude Boreas, blustering railer,’ and the words are affecting:— ‘Once I was a monarch’s daughter, And sat on a lady’s knee; But am now a nightly rover, Banished to the ivy tree. ‘Crying, Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, Hoo, hoo, my feet are cold! Pity me, for here you see me Persecuted, poor, and old.’”
Master Hugh Calveley, he went on to say, was a strict Puritan, austere in his life, and morose in manner; an open railer against the licence of the times, and the profligacy of the court minions, in consequence of which he had more than once got himself into trouble.
Just see if you cannot shout as loud as the gale." Paul thereon, nothing loath, struck up, "Cease, rude Boreas, blustering railer." Paul's example was followed by others, and daylight broke on them even before they expected its appearance. Willy was the first to spring to his feet, saying that he would take a run down the hill and up again to warm himself. Peter Patch followed him.

When?
At the next discharge from the wooers Telemachus received a slight wound on the wrist, and Eumæus was similarly injured on the shoulder by the spear of the brutal Ctesippus. A moment after Ctesippus himself was struck down by the lance of Philoetius, who mocked him as he fell saying: "There is for the ox-foot which thou didst lately bestow on Odysseus, thou noisy railer!"
Amongst the numberless verses which might be quoted against the family of the owl, I think I only know of one little ode which expresses any pity for it. Our nursery maid used to sing it to the tune of the Storm, "Cease rude Boreas, blust'ring railer." I remember the first two stanzas of it:
These are the fellows that sing you "The Bay of Biscay Oh!" and "Here a sheer hulk lies poor Torn Bowling!" "Cease, rude Boreas, blustering railer!" who, when ashore, at an eating-house, call for a bowl of tar and a biscuit.
