Hath the flour given such strength to thy legs that they may outrun the swift-winged lead? Think not to cheat the law. Be men for the last time, and be content that ye die full-stomached. Come, step up, back to the timber, shoulder to shoulder. Come! The two men obeyed, quietly, without fear; for it is the future which pressed upon the man, not the present.
In the procession of the swift-winged hours there is for every man one and another which is big with fate, in that they bring him peculiar opportunity to lose his life, and by that means find it. Such an hour came now to Caius.
Sometimes from the breezy fore-deck we scanned the horizon for the ships that rarely appeared, and sometimes sought a snug corner aft and watched the swift-winged gulls, the quivering log line, the smoke clouds and their shadows, or the widening streak of water disturbed by the revolving screw. "How rapidly the week has passed," said a friend on the evening of the twelfth of February. "Listen!
Also, there's a case of fairly good booze downstairs that the janitor is taking care of until you call for it. So long, fellows!" And with a wave of his hat the Goat departed. A gem apart In the unreached heart Of a shy and secret place; Swift-winged in flight As a meteor's light In the far-off field of space.
All the monarchs seeing him stop, stood there to become spectators of the coming encounter between him and Salya. Then that foremost of men, king Salya covered Bhishma, the son of Santanu with hundreds and thousands of swift-winged shafts. And those monarchs seeing Salya thus covering Bhishma at the outset with innumerable shafts, wondered much and uttered shouts of applause.
And Idas slew Promeus, and Clytius Hyacinthus, and the two sons of Tyndareus slew Megalossaces and Phlogius. And after them the son of Oeneus slew bold Itomeneus, and Artaceus, leader of men; all of whom the inhabitants still honour with the worship due to heroes. And the rest gave way and fled in terror just as doves fly in terror before swift-winged hawks.
Then the Earl proceeded, very delicately, to instruct Tom as to the observances proper to the stately occasion, under the rather thin disguise of 'reminding' him concerning things already known to him; but to his vast gratification it turned out that Tom needed very little help in this line he had been making use of Humphrey in that direction, for Humphrey had mentioned that within a few days he was to begin to dine in public; having gathered it from the swift-winged gossip of the Court.
"Then I will desert this gang that hang like barnacles about me, that know too much about me, and would squeal on me any moment to save themselves if they got into a tight place. I will go so far away that they will never get money enough together to attempt to follow me." The clock on the mantel of an inner room warned him that time was flying swift-winged past him.
A swift-winged night-hawk having been placed at my disposal, I had a safe and speedy journey home." "And is that all?" inquired Leo. "Yes," said Paz, "for here comes Master Knops." Leo thanked Paz warmly, and turned towards Knops, who, with hat in hand, stood gravely waiting to speak. "Is it the wish of Prince Leo to make further explorations, or will he now return to his father and his home?"
"They cannot long elude the power of Rodrigo d'Almonte, at once judge of the Holy Office and governor of Valencia." "Moderate your transports, governor," replied the Englishman, boldly; "the fugitives are beyond your reach. This very night a swift-winged felucca bore them away from these accursed shores, to a land of liberty and happiness." The brow of Rodrigo grew black as night.
