She will never unsheath her royal weapon curved, in scimeter fashion, instead of being straight, like that of the ordinary bee save only in the case of her doing battle with an equal: in other words, with a sister queen. No bee, it would seem, dare take on herself the horror of direct and bloody regicide.
Here, thrusting her hand into her pocket, she discharged a handful of some kind of dust or snuff into the fellow's eyes; he stamped and roared, but was for some time held fast by the two Callees; he extricated himself, however, and attempted to unsheath a knife which he bore at his girdle; but the two younger females flung themselves upon him like furies, while the old woman increased his disorder by thrusting her stick into his face; he was soon glad to give up the contest, and retreated, leaving behind him his hat and cloak, which the chabi gathered up and flung after him into the street.
Instead of wasting words, he began to deliver convincing blows. His first stroke sent the obscene corporal to the floor, minus front teeth and consciousness. The amazed captain labored to unsheath his sword, but Byle snatched the rusty weapon and thwacked the young scapegrace over the pate with it. A rash rustic drew up musket and fired; the ball grazed Plutarch's right thumb, bringing blood.
These he placed in his game-bag, and shouldering his rifle, was about to depart; when some new idea caused him to halt, put down his gun, and again unsheath his knife. Once more approaching the carcass, he made an incision near the kidneys; and having inserted his hand, drew forth what appeared to be a part of the intestines. It was the bladder.

Shall hateful tyrants, mischief breeding, With hireling hosts, a ruffian band, Affright and desolate the land, While peace and liberty lie bleeding? Th' avenging sword unsheath! March on! march on! all hearts resolved On liberty or death! But no translation can equal the force of the original. The king and his courtiers at St.
How is he to capture the imposing creature, how to avoid its sting? If its effect is in proportion to the Wasp's size, the sting of the Scolia must be something terrible. The Hornet, though she unsheath her weapon but once, causes the most exquisite pain. What would it be like if one were stabbed by this colossus?
"May God grant it!" said Bridgenorth; "for I fear me I should scruple to do aught which should once more unsheath the civil sword; but welcome all that comes in a peaceful and parliamentary way." "Ay," said Christian, "and which will bring with it the bitter amends, which our enemies have so long merited at our hands. How long hath our brother's blood cried for vengeance from the altar!
From himself you heard, How much he wished to lay aside the sword. COUNTESS. He must not lay the sword aside, we mean; He must unsheath it in your father's cause. THEKLA. He'll spend with gladness and alacrity His life, his heart's blood in my father's cause, If shame or injury be intended him. COUNTESS. You will not understand me.
But there, it matters little; it will be guarded by now. How do the folks in your own neighbourhood talk?" "That the present state of things cannot continue, and that one side or the other must begin a fresh war." "Humph," he said, half to himself, "if we unsheath the sword again, we will not lay it down until the work is finished.
He would lie on the grass "watching things growing," he said. If you watched long enough, he declared, you could see buds unsheath themselves.
