No crafty Tyrant now usurps the Seat, Who Nephews slew that so he might be great; No need of Tudor Roses to unite, None knows which is the Red or which the White; Spain's braving Fleet a second time is sunk, France knows how oft my fury she hath drunk; By Edward third, and Henry fifth of fame Her Lillies in mine Arms avouch the same, My sister Scotland hurts me now no more, Though she hath been injurious heretofore; What Holland is I am in some suspence, But trust not much unto his excellence.
Upon hearing this, Gushtásp turned towards his courtiers, and said, "What ought to be done with that son, who in the lifetime of his father usurps his authority, and even attempts to eclipse him in grandeur? What! I ask, should be done with such a son!"
A diurnal-maker is the sub-almoner of history, Queen Mab's register, one whom, by the same figure that a north country pedlar is a merchantman, you may style an author. It is like overreach of language, when every thin tinder-cloaked quack must be called a doctor; when a clumsy cobbler usurps the attribute of our English peers, and is vamped a translator.
If she or any other woman had been in the doctor's place, she would have given the same answer. Mrs. Carteret did not stop to reason. In such a crisis a mother's heart usurps the place of intellect.

Wise, shrewd, cautious, using every thing, and recoiling from nothing, let this be the motto of my immediate future: 'To overthrow the enemy by rebellion were unwise; he who usurps another's place is always a rebel, and deserving of punishment. I must be called to the throne by the people themselves, then I shall be a legitimate ruler. To attain this be your task, Mohammed Ali.
While that kind of information which, in our schools, usurps the name History the mere tissue of names and dates and dead unmeaning events has a conventional value only: it has not the remotest bearing on any of our actions; and is of use only for the avoidance of those unpleasant criticisms which current opinion passes upon its absence.
An idol is something that either usurps God's place, or withdraws our thoughts and devotions from him. The very reverse of this was my case.
Map work in a high school history course should require no more than geographical accuracy in locating boundaries, routes, and places really vital to the history of the people being studied. If it does more than this it usurps time disproportionate to its value. The place of drill in the history recitation
Thus, with property, as with persons, when the state proposes to itself another purpose than the preservation of these, not only does it overstep its mandate but it acts contrary to its mandate. IV. Abuse of State powers. It badly fills the office of the bodies it supplant. Cases in which it usurps their powers and refuses to be their substitute.
If the word of another is taken instead of this primary faith, the church, the state, art, letters, life, all suffer degradation, "the doctrine of inspiration is lost; the base doctrine of the majority of voices usurps the place of the doctrine of the soul."
