"His song was all a lamentable lay, Of great unkindness, and of usage hard, Of Cynthia, the Lady of the Sea, That from her presence faultless him debarred. . . . . . . . When thus our pipes we both had wearied well, And each an end of singing made, He gan to cast great liking to my lore, And great disliking to my luckless lot, That banished had myself, like wight forlore, Into that waste, where I was quite forgot: The which to leave henceforth he counselled me, Unmeet for man in whom was ought regardful, And wend with him his Cynthia to see, Whose grace was great, and bounty most rewardful. . . . . . . . So what with hope of good, and hate of ill He me persuaded forth with him to fare."
James and Bedford both told him he had won his spurs, and should have them on the next fit occasion; but he had ceased to care for knighthood, save in that half-consecrated aspect which he thought would render his guardianship less unmeet for Esclairmonde.
Nor was it unmeet that the man who had led those three great although unsuccessful enterprises towards the North Pole, should be laid at last to rest like the soldier dying in a lost battle upon the field of his glorious labours. Nearly six weeks longer they struggled amid tempestuous seas.
In fact, the veins of his throat and of his temples swelled almost to bursting, and he sat with the indignant and disconcerted air of one who has received a mortal insult from a quarter to which he holds it unmeet and indecorous to make any reply.
They who have neither skill nor courage, are very unmeet; for, if it be a place of never so great moment, faint-heartedness will make them quit it. 3. They who are both skilful and stout, yet are not honest, but perfidious and treacherous, should have no trust at all.
But he lifted her up, and set her on her throne again, and said: "Nay, my Lady, this is unmeet; but if thou wouldst talk and tell with me I am ready to hearken." She strove with her passion a while, and then she said: "Great Lord, I pray thee to hearken, and to have patience with a woman's weak heart. Prithee, sit down here beside me. "It were unfitting," he said; "I shall take a lowlier seat."
Then, lady, lay aside that haughty scorning A robe unmeet to deck a mortal frame; Mild be thy light, and innocent as morning, And shine on high and humble still the same. Bid thy good-will, in bright abundance flowing, To all around its kindly stream impart; Thy love the while on One alone bestowing, The fittest found, the husband of thy heart!
And as she entered Arthur was speaking, and he said: To you, ladies, I tell what we of the castle wot better than well, that our dear friend hath escaped so heavy a fate in escaping the Red Hold, that it were unmeet for us to murmur at our loss in our fellow; for a warrior's life, which is ever in peril of death, is nought over heavy a ransom for such a friend, and so dear and lovely, from such a long and evil death.
"Nay," said Grettir, "but I guess that the accursed hag, thy foster-mother, showed it thee, for in her redes must thou needs have trusted." "All shall be one to thee now," said Angle, "in whomsoever I have put my trust." Then they set on them fiercely, and Illugi made defence for both in most manly wise; but Grettir was utterly unmeet for fight, both for his wounds' sake and for his sickness.
I tell thee, child, those foolish fears are most unmeet for thee, and must be overcome, if necessary, with prayer and penance. Frightened by a toad! Blood of the Martyrs! 'T is like any foolish girl!" Father Pedro stopped and coughed. "I am saying that no Christian child should shrink from any of God's harmless creatures.
