I should bitterly have rued the day. Providence was good to me. Such men and such women, we may believe have ceased to exist now. They flourished in those miserable days of war and divisions, and passed away with them like the foul night-birds of the battle-field. To return to our journey. In the morning sunshine one could not but be cheerful, and think good things possible.
But Siegfried was foolish enough to carry away her ring and girdle, for very haughtiness. These he gave to Kriemhild, and sore both of them rued it in after-time. Brunhilds strength vanished with her maidenhood and thenceforth she was as any other woman.
That's what befell honest Mark Walton. He thought he had seized matter of State, and went up to Master Walsingham, swelling like an Indian turkey-cock, with his secret letters, and behold they turned out to be a Dutch fishwife's charm to bring the herrings. I can tell you he has rued the work he made about it ever since.
She asked herself what it was and it seemed to her that in most situations it was the selfishness of myriad individuals who, together at a convergence, unintentionally brought about another person's harm.

Therewith she stretched out her right hand and laid it on the stone, and spake aloud: O Earth, thou and thy first children, I crave of you that he may come back now at once and loving me. And her voice sounded strange and unkent to her in that solitude, and she rued it that she had spoken.

Riding with his captains, and viewing the walls, now gay with banners and warlike tricking, Constantine took heart, and told how Amurath, the peerless warrior, had dashed his Janissaries against them, and rued the day.
Says PINDAR of this event: That leader of the Syracusan host, With gallies swiftly-rushing, them pursued; And they his onset rued, When on the Cuman coast He dashed their youth in gulfy waves below, And rescued Greece from heavy servitude.
How hard to be accounted for! how deeply to be rued! I sometimes catch myself trembling with solicitude lest I should have erred. Am I not betrayed by passion? can I claim the respect due to that discernment which I once boasted? I cannot blame my mother. She acts and determines, as I sometimes believe, without the benefits of my knowledge.
This, indeed, was no mighty offence in the eyes of the town-council, inasmuch as it bore no great friendship to his Lordship the Constable and Elector, and had had many quarrels with him-nay, long after this the council was able to gain possession of the land and ruins by purchases till, uncle Christian bitterly rued having sent his men-at-arms, whose duty it was to defend the castle, out into the country, though it were for so good a purpose as fighting against the Hussites.
