You're a-going to bolt, are you? Come to the pollis, you young warmin, come to the pollis! 'You give me my money back, if you please, said I, very much frightened; 'and leave me alone. 'Come to the pollis! said the young man. 'You shall prove it yourn to the pollis. 'Give me my box and money, will you, I cried, bursting into tears.
"You give me my money back, if you please," said I, very much frightened. "And leave me alone!" "Come to the pollis," said he; "you shall prove it yourn to the pollis!" "Give me my box and money, will you?" I cried, bursting into tears. The young man still replied, "Come to the pollis!"
But it was over at last, and she let the body go, and stood watching for a moment as it floated into a dark pool beneath the alders; and then, shaking herself like a dog, she came up the bank and looked at me, in silence. "That was in revenge for Crone," I managed to get out. "It was them killed Crone," she answered in a queer dry voice. "Let the pollis find this one where they found Crone!
Fortune, a few years after, punished them in the same kind; for Chabrias, captain-general of their naval forces, having got the better of Pollis, Admiral of Sparta, at the Isle of Naxos, totally lost the fruits of his victory, one of very great importance to their affairs, in order not to incur the danger of this example, and so that he should not lose a few bodies of his dead friends that were floating in the sea, gave opportunity to a world of living enemies to sail away in safety, who afterwards made them pay dear for this unseasonable superstition:
Then, too, many less celebrated men have written treatises on the laws of symmetry, such as Nexaris, Theocydes, Demophilus, Pollis, Leonidas, Silanion, Melampus, Sarnacus, and Euphranor; others again on machinery, such as Diades, Archytas, Archimedes, Ctesibius, Nymphodorus, Philo of Byzantium, Diphilus, Democles, Charias, Polyidus, Pyrrus, and Agesistratus.
At the end of the same summer the Corinthian Aristeus, Aneristus, Nicolaus, and Stratodemus, envoys from Lacedaemon, Timagoras, a Tegean, and a private individual named Pollis from Argos, on their way to Asia to persuade the King to supply funds and join in the war, came to Sitalces, son of Teres in Thrace, with the idea of inducing him, if possible, to forsake the alliance of Athens and to march on Potidaea then besieged by an Athenian force, and also of getting conveyed by his means to their destination across the Hellespont to Pharnabazus, who was to send them up the country to the King.
I put it in my mouth for safety, and though my hands trembled a good deal, had just tied the card on very much to my satisfaction, when I felt myself violently chucked under the chin by the long-legged young man, and saw my half-guinea fly out of my mouth into his hand. 'Wot! said the young man, seizing me by my jacket collar, with a frightful grin. 'This is a pollis case, is it?
The country people stared with astonishment as they passed, and the muggers and tinkers, who were withdrawing their horses from the farmers' fields, stood trembling, lest they might be the 'pollis' coming after them. 'I think it'll be a fine day, observed his lordship, after they had bumped for some time in silence without its getting much lighter.
Then suddenly changed his mind, jumped into the cart, sat upon my box, and exclaiming that he would drive to the pollis straight, rattled away. I ran after him as fast as I could, narrowly escaping being run over some twenty times in a mile, until I had no breath left to call out with.
