This full Liberty had like to have spoil'd all, for as is before noted, this Nation had one unhappy Quality they could never be broke of, always to be falling out one among another.
It's well vor un I could not get at un: I'd a lick'd un; I'd a spoil'd his caterwauling; I'd a taught the son of a whore to meddle with meat for his master. He shan't ever have a morsel of meat of mine, or a varden to buy it: if she will ha un, one smock shall be her portion. I'd sooner ge my esteate to the zinking fund, that it may be sent to Hanover to corrupt our nation with."
"Those that were stout of heart are spoil'd, They slept their sleep outright; And none of those their hands did find, That were the men of might.

There was another acclamation, which was followed by the most profound silence.
Upon our first arrival we sowed of all sorts of English garden seeds and grain, but not a single thing came up except mustard sallad; but this I know was not owing either to the Soil or Climate, but to the badness of the seeds, which were spoil'd by the length of the Passage.
Yes, faith, Madam, I am Sir Timothy Tawdrey, at your Service Pray are not you Mrs. Celinda Dresswell? Cel. The same, but cannot return your Compliment. Sir Tim.

Shall I add, a Secret which they did not bid me tell you?
However, I was so diverted with this old beldam and her magnificence, that I made this epitaph for her: Four times the nuptial bed she warm'd, And every time so well perform'd, That when death spoil'd each husband's billing, He left the widow every shilling.

Again Antigone 'Was seen, lamenting shrill with plaintive notes, Like the poor bird that sees her lonely nest Spoil'd of her young'.
