Still, her eyes were drooped, her head hung low, and her bosom actually heaved as if with emotion. "I will tell John of your shamelessness," I said to myself. "He shall feel no more heartaches for you you wanton huzzy." Then Leicester poured forth his passion most eloquently. Poesy, verse, and rhetoric all came to help him in his wooing.
The shamelessness of admitting to the world that acts for which women had been repeatedly sentenced to jail, and for which women were at that moment lying in prison, were so legal as to make necessary a special act of Congress against them, was appalling. The Administration policy seemed to be "Let us put women in jail first-let us enact a law to keep them there afterwards,"
"This, that I wish no other love. I have no wish for your life, your feasts, your shamelessness, your crimes!" "What is taking place in thee? Art thou a Christian?" The young man seized his head with both hands, and repeated, as if in despair, "Not yet! not yet!" PETRONIUS went home shrugging his shoulders and greatly dissatisfied.
The ruthlessness, for instance, of Quidnunc as he pursued and obtained his desire, had Quidnunc been a human creature, would have been revolting; the shamelessness of the fairy wife of Ventris had she been capable of shame, how shameful had that been! But I knew that these creatures were not human; I knew that they were not under our law; and so I explained everything to myself.
Shamelessness has been handed down to us in our flesh and blood, and we are trained to shamelessness; but that is what we are men for to subdue the beast in us.
Doubtless her soul was brimming over with shamelessness, since she swerved so far from shamefastness, as without a blush to seek solace for her wrong in her daughter's infamy. A great crime, with but one atonement; namely, that the guilt of this intercourse was wiped away by a fortunate progeny, its fruits being as delightful as its repute was evil.
For it really distresses me very much that he should make himself ridiculous; and that he should go out walking half the night with that girl; such shamelessness! We were so much upset that we did not go for a walk, and of course did not go to the raffle. But I'm frightfully sorry about those things I paid 7 crowns for. I do hope he did not win any of them. August 15th. Just a few words more.
Elspa remonstrated with her for some time, but she was not to be entreated: "My guilt and my shamelessness were public," said she, "and it is meet that the world should behold what hae been the wages I hae earnt, and the depth of the humiliation to which my vain and proud heart has been brought; so, go ye on wi' your gudeman and Agnes, and let me come by mysel'."
When the people's shamelessness became more and more widespread, God commanded Moses to appoint judges to punish the sinners, and as it was difficult to discover these through the agency of witnesses, God marked them by causing the cloud of glory that lay spread over the camp of Israel to disappear from the sinners.
To cite Dryden as a witness for any purpose against Shakspeare, Dryden, who of all men had the most ransacked wit and exhausted language in celebrating the supremacy of Shakspeare's genius, does indeed require as much shamelessness in feeling as mendacity in principle. What if he does? Let the whole truth be told, and then we shall see how much stress is to be laid upon such a judgment.
