Her little all, in a bundle, was strapped to her true-lover's saddle, and she fell into the cavalcade, which soon afterwards left the village and rode out upon the illimitable plains. It was not a large band, but it was composed of rare and strong materials. Our friend Pedro alias Conrad of the Mountains alias the Rover of the Andes of course took the lead.
That went through the true-lover's heart like a knife, and poor little Percy leaned in despair against Hope's workshop window transfixed by the poisoned arrow of jealousy. At this moment the voice of Colonel Clifford was heard, loud and ringing as usual.
"That ye are, and as smart a one as ever tied a true-lover's knot in the top; but tell the truth you were never nearer losing the number of your mess than that day in the old Tisbe." Lady Barb. "The old Tisbe! Oh!" Ipsden. "Do you remember that nice little lurch she gave to leeward as we brought her round?" Lady Barb. "Oh, Richard!" Ancient Mariner.
It was a heart cut out of one huge ruby, and was surrounded by several diamond arrows, and pierced by one. A golden true-lover's knot above the heart bore the motto, 'But one can wound me, and the whole jewel was hung upon a chain of immense pearls.

His tie, evidently new, was a marvel, a sort of true-lover's knot of red patterned with green, strange beyond description. He seemed terrified.
She made her son choose for her what she should sing; and then followed a wonderful story of Giles Collins, who loved a lady: Giles and the lady both died of true love; Giles was laid in the lower chancel, and the lady in the higher; from the one grave grew a milk-white rose, and from the other a briar, both of which climbed up to the church top, and there tied themselves into a true-lover's knot, which made all the parish admire.
The rope was worn; but, in the lapse of time, it became a silken cord, tied in a true-lover's knot, and was regarded as an ornament which the magistrate could not dispense with. It was gallantly defended by the Spaniards for a long time; but, at last, three thousand of the burghers of Ghent, clothed in white shirts as a distinguishing mark, assaulted the citadel.
Gilveen had come into the room and she saw Flann and Morag give each other a true-lover's kiss. She went away.
