Shameless love is always young; with years comes discretion, perhaps loss of confidence. The Crusaders were youths, pursuing an idea to the ends of the earth and flaunting a lady's guerdon from spear or saddle-bow. The older men among them tucked the handkerchief or bit of a gauntleted glove under jerkin and armor near the heart, and flung to the air the guerdon of some light o' love.
Heaven and earth swam before my eyes as we reached the Pons Sublicia, and heard the tawny waters of Tiber swaying to the sea. With an oath of despair, for life is sweet, I rammed my persuaders into Atys, caught him by the head, and sent him straight at the flooded Tiber! "Va-t-en donc, espece de type!" said the girl on my saddle-bow, finding her tongue at last.
I had noticed that at Sheikh Ahmed's saddle-bow was a bulky package, undoubtedly the precious harp in its wrappings. "That was all there was to be said, and after a while the crowd began to disperse.
The man went straight to a horse, placed the burden he was carrying across the saddle-bow, sprang on to the horse, and with a number of others round him, including the chief, rode away. They brought a horse for me and I mounted too, and rode along very unwillingly towards the end of the train.

Straight at Peter's undefended face drove Morella's lance, but lo! as it came he let fall his reins and with his shield he struck at the white plumes about its point, the plumes torn from his own head.

Ye would stand aghast with fear; Am a Prince of mighty sway! "When he rode into the lists, The arch of heaven grew black with mists, And the castle 'gan to rock. At the first blow, Fell the youth from saddle-bow, Hardly rises from the shock. "Pipe and viol call the dances, Torch-light through the high halls glances; Waves a mighty shadow in. With manner bland Doth ask the maiden's hand,

The wives are always brown, the husbands are jet-black, with the exception of those magnificent and pure white feathers in wings and tail which are so much prized and worn by the fair dames of Europe. Hobson carried a sack of mealies at his saddle-bow. There were several male birds on the farm, all of which were distinguished by name. Our visit that morning was to David Marais.
A stray cow in the road, an ox or a horse in a pasture, must serve his turn, dull beasts, but moving marks to aim at, at any rate. Never, since he had galloped in the chase over the Pampas, had Dick Venner felt such a sense of life and power as when he struck the long spurs into his wild horse's flanks, and dashed along the road with the lasso lying like a coiled snake at the saddle-bow.
