Fellows who faint at the veriest trifle criticise the tactics of Hannibal; whimpering boys store themselves with phrases out of the slaughter at Canna; and blubber over the victories of Scipio, because they are obliged to construe them. SPIEGEL. Spouted in true Alexandrian style.
Moreover, they made merry when the day came round for his wedding with the little maid of Albany. They likewise elected him a member of the corporation, to which he bequeathed some of the Spiegel plate and often helped the other city fathers to empty the big punch-bowl. Indeed, it was at one of these corporation feasts that he died of apoplexy.
From 20 to 24 cwt. of ore are used in a 5-ton charge, and about half the metal is reduced and turned into steel, so that the yield in ingots is from 1 to 2 per cent. more than the weight of pig and spiegel iron in the charge.

His father's name was Porosehasp, his mother's Dogdo, and his family boasted of royal descent. The time of his birth is very, Spiegel says "hopelessly" dark.

The rascal deserves to be hanged on the first gallows that would rather starve than manipulate with his fingers. How now? I should not wonder if your proficiency went further still. SPIEGEL.

Well, well! they may be tolerably expert in the finger department, but, I tell you, the fame of our captain has tempted even some honorable men to join his staff. SPIEGEL. So much the worse. RAZ. Without joking.
