Now the second year after this wicked affair about his sister was over, and Absalom was about to go to shear his own sheep at Baalhazor, which is a city in the portion of Ephraim, he besought his father, as well as his brethren, to come and feast with him: but when David excused himself, as not being willing to be burdensome to him, Absalom desired he would however send his brethren; whom he did send accordingly.
Then look out for woodchucks, if it is an exposed place, for they will nibble off the earliest tender leaves almost clean as they go; and again, when the young tendrils make their appearance, they have notice of it, and will shear them off with both buds and young pods, sitting erect like a squirrel.
In another minute or so she was within biscuit-toss of us, so close that we could hear the hissing shear of her sharp stem through the water, and the moan of the wind in the hollows of her canvas, when up jumps a fellow upon her rail and hailed us in what I took to be Spanish, it wasn't French, I know, because I can speak a little of that lingo, at the same time pointing to his gaff-end, up to which another ruffian at once began to hoist a black flag.
She could no more preside at a dinner table or pour tea gracefully, as would be expected of his wife, than Beth could shear a sheep or earmark one. These things and many others he had told himself a thousand times to stop the longing he had to saddle his horse and go to her.
"She may be a lamb, but she isn't going to let us shear her, if she can help it," said Phil, looking deadly wise. "What do you mean?" "My dear girl, with all your cleverness, you're only a baby child about some things. Don't you see what's she's driving at?" I shook my head, with my hair about my face. "Or what all her questions were leading up to?
The colder it got the oftener he sang: "Like Argus of the ancient times, We leave this Modern Greece; Tum-tum, tum-tum; tum-tum, tum-tum, To shear the Golden Fleece." As they passed the mouths of the Hootalinqua and the Big and Little Salmon, they found these streams throwing mush-ice into the main Yukon.
But where it is recklessly or unnecessarily used, the abuse should he censured, above all by the very men who are properly anxious to prevent any effort to shear the courts of this necessary power.
Round it went Osric and his men: but into it they could not break. For the Danes hewed the ash shafts of the spears, and near them no horse might live, for their axes would shear through man and horse alike. Then Ealhstan shouted to Osric, bidding us stand. And right glad were we to do this, while ever the Danes shrank away from us.
The farmer whom I have quoted does not dip his sheep to prevent or cure scab, but mops the sore place, when he discovers a scabby sheep, with a sponge dipped into the scab-mixture. He gets, he told me, from his flock of ten thousand merinoes, an average of seven pounds per head of wool, and he does not shear any except the lambs, in the fall.
They are all poor, I suppose; he would not work with the shearers if he were not poor." "Oh, it isn't that," said Felipe, impatiently. "You can't understand, because you've never been among them. But they are just as proud as we are. Some of them, I mean; such men as old Pablo. They shear sheep for money just as I sell wool for money. There isn't so much difference.
