Rathbone and myself soon made the acquaintance of the chief of the stable department. Readers of Homer do not want to be reminded that hippodamoio, horse-subduer, is the genitive of an epithet applied as a chief honor to the most illustrious heroes. It is the last word of the last line of the Iliad, and fitly closes the account of the funeral pageant of Hector, the tamer of horses.
Then another door was opened stealthily, and the lion tamer slipped in, armed with no weapon more deadly than a heavy whip. Norah did not like it. It seemed to her, to put it mildly, a risky proceeding.
"He's headed for the 'main-top' all right!" shouted some one, as he saw Prince running toward the passage which connected the two tents. "Come on! We must catch him!" exclaimed the tamer. "If he gets loose it will be a great loss!" "More than a loss. I guess, if he has his appetite with him," mused Joe. "I wonder how they'll catch him."
As they wended their way from village to village, and town to town, over the old-fashioned turnpikes, Brutus entered one of the irritable phases of his life, during which, it is hardly necessary to say, the vigilant eye of Rounders was nearly always on the tamer in his management of the brute.
My own boy fell in like fashion, an' my blood wasn't no tamer then thet in other veins but yit I held my hand. Ye comes ter us now, frettin' under ther sting of a wrong done ter ye an' I don't say yore wrath hain't righteous, but ye've done been vouchsafed sich a chanst as God don't proffer ter many, an' God calls fer sacrifices from them elected ter sarve him."
Throughout the backwoods there are large numbers of half-wild hogs, but they are usually the denizens of woods that are inclosed by a rail-fence, and therefore private property. One part of the year they are tamer, when a scarcity of food renders it necessary for them to approach the owner's house, and eat the corn placed for them in a well-known spot.
The weaker and the tamer the man, the more will he require this support; and any positive quality relieves him, by just so much, of this dependence. Happiness and goodness, according to canting moralists, stand in the relation of effect and cause.
"Unto this hope is man tamed, and shall his Tamer then be deemed intolerable? Unto this hope is man tamed, and shall he murmur against his beneficient Tamer, if He chance to use the scourge?... "Whether, therefore, Thou dealest softly with us that we be not wearied in the way, or chastisest us that we wander not from the way, Thou art become our refuge, O Lord."
The ordinary practice, however, of the monarch and his courtiers seems to have fallen short of the true sportsman's ideal. Instead of seeking the more dangerous kinds of wild beasts in their native haunts, and engaging with them under the conditions designed by nature, the Parthians were generally content with a poorer and tamer method.
Therewith amid their thousands the captains dart up and down, splendid in gold and purple, Mnestheus, seed of Assaracus, and brave Asilas, and Messapus, tamer of horses, brood of Neptune: then each on signal given retired to his own ground; they plant their spears in the earth and lean their shields against them.
