Loki, when he saw that he could not by any means get away from the angry Thunderer, changed himself back to his own form, and humbly said to Thor, "What if you do your worst with me? Will that give back a single hair to Sif's shorn head? What I did was only a thoughtless joke, and I really meant no harm. Do but spare my life, and I will more than make good the mischief I have done."
Another blow he falls he falls!" "Earth revives him then. He is once more up; but the blood rolls down his face." "By the Thunderer! Lydon wins it. See how he presses on him! That blow on the temple would have crushed an ox! it has crushed Tetraides. He falls again he cannot move habet! habet!" "Habet!" repeated Pansa. "Take them out and give them the armor and swords." ...
More glorious than the meeds That in their strife with labor nerved the brave, To the great doer of renowned deeds The Hebe and the heaven the Thunderer gave.

The Times published these letters, and backed them up by several of those awful, grand and dictatorial editorials peculiar to the great "Thunderer," in which the blacking-maker, "Warren, 30 Strand," was stigmatized as a man who had no respect for the ancient patriarchs, and it was hinted that he would probably not hesitate to sell his blacking on the sarcophagus of Pharaoh, "or any other" mummy, if he could only make money by it.
The Stirling Castle was totally lost on the Silver Keys, near Hispaniola, and only fifty of her crew saved; while the Thunderer, which had separated from the fleet, foundered, and every soul perished. Several other ships were driven on shore, and eight lost their masts. Towards the end of 1780 war was declared against the Dutch, who, it was found, were making preparations to attack England.
A propos of races, I am going down to Lord Raby's to-morrow; I think I saw in one of the morning papers that you had very largely backed a horse entered at Knaresdean." "Yes, Thunderer I think of buying Thunderer. How very odd that you too should be going to Knaresdean!" "Odd, indeed, but most lucky! We can go together, if you are not better engaged." Lord Doltimore coloured and hesitated.
And though, if read she must, the very soul of Rose Mary panted for the comfort of some of the lines of the Sweet Singer, Aunt Viney held her strictly to the words of her favorite thunderer, Jeremiah, and little Aunt Amandy bunched up under the cover across the bed fairly shook with terror as she buried her head in her pillow to keep out the rolling words of invective that began with an awful "Harken" and ended with "Woe is me now, for my soul is wearied!"
He drew the newspaper from his pocket and began to read, stopping now and anon to laugh: "Rumour hath it that a Young Gentleman of Quality of this Town, who is possessed of more Valour than Discretion, and whose Skill at Fence and in the Field is beyond his Years, crossed Swords on Wednesday Night with a Young Nobleman from the Thunderer.
It consisted of the Robust, Thunderer, and Standard, seventy-fours; the frigates Pomone, on board which the commodore's flag was flying, the Anson, Artois, Arethusa, Concorde, and our frigate the Galatea, convoying fifty sail of transports with about two thousand five hundred French Royalists.
"Oh! my eyes! wouldn't a whole broadside set 'em flying, Jack?" "Ay; just as them Frenchmen that you murdered on board the Big Thunderer, as you called it." "I murder them, you rascal?" "Yes; there was about five hundred of them killed." "They were only shot." "They were killed, only your conscience tells you it's uncomfortable." "You rascal you villain!
