She had immediately recanted, on finding Lily searching in a book for a picture of a satyr. This man had ears pointed at the top.

The king's threat of death unless he recanted could not turn him away from his new and true faith. When the hangman raised his sword and set it at his throat to kill him, he exclaimed, "The Eternal He is God, the God of the whole world as well as of the blasphemer Nimrod." But the sword could not cut his flesh. The harder it was pressed against his throat, the more it broke into pieces.
Afterward, these gentlemen, hearing that William Cobbet was about to write a life of Paine, sent him the following note: I must tell you now that it is of great importance to find out whether Paine recanted.

"Cyril Jernyngham seems to have taken the consequences," Muriel pointed out. "Isn't there something to be said for the person who does so uncomplainingly?

They were lodged in separate cells, in the prison portion of the Palazzo Vecchio, and each was importuned to recant the charges made against the Pope and the Medici. All refused, even when told that the others had recanted. Savonarola's judges were chosen from among his most bitter foes. He was brought before them, and ordered to take back his accusations. He remained silent.
Those who nominated and elected me, did so with the full knowledge that I had made this, and many similar declarations, and had never recanted them. *
With the exception of Condé and Navarre there does not appear to be a single Huguenot leader left, and it is reported that Condé has recanted in order to save his life." "The Cause is not dead because Condé has forsaken it." "No," agreed Roger, "but it is dead nevertheless.
In regard to persons who have been Christians, but have recanted, if such persons come to or leave the village, we promise to report it." The Dutch have been denounced for helping to crush the rebellion with ships and cannon: they fired, by their own acknowledgment, 426 shot into the castle.
I presume that the new-born enthusiasm created by the Atlanta news will so encourage Lincoln that he can not be persuaded to withdraw." Two days more and the anti-Lincoln newspapers began to draw in their horns. That Independent, whose editor had been one of the three in the last ditch but a week before, handsomely recanted, scuttling across to what now seemed the winning side.
