From even this stronghold the unlucky Rip was at length routed by his termagant wife, who would suddenly break in upon the tranquillity of the assemblage and call the members all to naught; nor was that august personage, Nicholas Vedder himself, sacred from the daring tongue of this terrible virago, who charged him outright with encouraging her husband in habits of idleness.
We are the successors of Aurungzebe; and a virago under the Pole sends a fleet into the Aegean Sea to rouse the ghosts of Leonidas and Epaminondas, and burn the capital of the second Roman Empire! Folks now scarce meddle with their next door neighbours; as many English go to visit St. Peter's who never thought of stepping into St. Paul's.
In the legal circle of Charles the Second's London, Lady King was notable as a virago whose shrill tongue disturbed her husband's peace of mind by day, and broke his rest at night.
What you mean, ridin' my tribulations?" "Thinking about them. The old Captain, for instance; you are no happier always abusing the old Captain." The old virago gave a sniff, tossed her head, but kept her eyes rolled suspiciously on Peter. "Very often the way we think and act makes us happy or unhappy," moralized Peter, broadly.

She is a true virago, and, though somewhat restrained by respect for him, she evinced a sturdy design to remain here through the winter, or at least for a considerable time longer.

"Stay, Belle," said the man, putting himself before the young virago, who was about to rush upon me, "my turn is first;" then, advancing to me in a menacing attitude, he said, with a look of deep malignity, "Afraid was the word, wasn't it?"
