"She's done it now!" I exclaimed, springing from my bed. "Are you stifling with blood?" the woman hissed, fierce exultation in her tone. "Help me!... I'm dying!" moaned the man. "And done to death by a woman!" It was murder no doubt about that. Clad only in my pajamas though I was, I prepared to throw myself against the door. "Die, thou accurst one! Perish!" shrieked the woman.
Did caution keep the gates of Greece, Ye saints of "safety first!" Twixt Thessaly and Locris when Leonidas' thousand men Died scornful of the proffered peace Of Xerxes the accurst? Watch ye have kept, ward ye have kept, But watch and ward were vain If love and gratitude have slept While ye stood guard for gain.
"Something!" echoed Mullins. "What of Cecco?" demanded Noodler. "He's as dead as Jukes," said Hook shortly. His reluctance to return to the cabin impressed them all unfavourably, and the mutinous sounds again broke forth. All pirates are superstitious, and Cookson cried, "They do say the surest sign a ship's accurst is when there's one on board more than can be accounted for."
We shall thereby protect ourselves from the encroaching commercial machine, its dwarfing ethics, mean postulates, and accurst conventions, and we shall rear within the walls all the beautiful that the outside world says does not exist.
"Now that you are humbled," said the Prince, "I command no longer; the repentant have to do with God and not with princes. But if you will let me advise you, go to Australia as a colonist, seek menial labour in the open air, and try to forget that you have ever been a clergyman, or that you ever set eyes on that accursed stone."

Michiella fronts them, horrid of aspect: 'Accurst divorced one! dost thou dare To lie in shameless fondness there? Abandoned! on thy lying brow Thy name shall be imprinted now. Camilla parts from her husband's embrace: 'My name is one I do not fear; 'Tis one that thou wouldst shrink to hear.

Seven long years did she serve him true By the blazing gates of hell, And on every soul that entered in The tears of her sorrow fell. Seven long years did she keep the place To open the doors accurst, And every soul that her tear-drops knew, It would neither burn nor thirst. And once she let in her father dear, And once her brother through.

"I am tired, Father," said the outlaw as he threw himself upon his accustomed bench. "Naught but sorrow and death follow in my footsteps. I and all my acts be accurst, and upon those I love, the blight falleth."
Something can be made of those failures of men, for After last returns the first, though a wide compass round be fetched; What began best can't end worst, nor what God once blest prove accurst.
