He was appeased when I came back the next day with the stanza amended so that the verse could read: "And what she would, would rather she would not so" but I fancy he never quite forgave my word silvern.
Antony de Leyva caused to be melted down the vessels of the churches and the silvern chandeliers of the university, and even a magnificent chain of gold which he habitually wore round his neck.
Cairn, a vision of such sinful loveliness as he could never have conceived in his waking moments. In that strange dream language, in a tongue not of East nor West, she spoke; and her silvern voice had something of the tone of those Egyptian pipes whose dree fills the nights upon the Upper Nile the seductive music of remote and splendid wickedness. "You know me, now?" she whispered.
Sithence he went his way into the pillared hall, when it was now night, and without the moon was up, and the trees of the wood as still as images. But within the hall shone bright with many candles, and the fountain glittered in the light of them, as it ran tinkling sweetly into the little stream; and the silvern bridges gleamed, and the pillars shone all round about.

The Franks, on their part, made many offerings; some gave gold, others silver, sundry gave horses, but most of them vestments. At last the young girl, with many tears and kisses, said farewell.
Many a twilight descended upon that journey with all their mysteries, many a blaze of stars; many a morning came flaming up to a tinkle of silvern horns; till the outpost elves of Fairyland came in sight and the glittering crests of Fairyland's three mountains betokened the journey's end.
Black against the silvern patch, I saw him emerge and look up. "Be careful, Smith!" I cried and I was racing under the trees to join him. Uttering a loud cry, he leaped away from the pool of light. "Stand back, Petrie!" he screamed. "Back! farther!" He charged into me, shoulder lowered, and sent me reeling!
