'I don't think I ever had a becoming or an interesting illness. The chicken- pox, mumps, and sties on my eyes that's the sort of thing I have! 'I feel much worse, Mrs. Winship, she said, going into the sitting- room tent and waking Aunt Truth from a peaceful snooze. 'If you can spare Pancho over night, I really think I must trouble you to send Anne and me home at once.
There is no metal like it to resist blows, in so far that, if culverin-shot should come to graze upon it, you would incontinently see distil from thence the blessed fruit of the great pox as small as rain. Beware, in the name of the devils, and hold off. Furthermore, no thunderbolt or lightning would fall upon it. For why? They are all either blest or consecrated.
The latter, with infinite agility, leaped aside, and lifting up his club, shivered the sword into a thousand pieces. "Death and the devil! Pox confound you!" said lord Martin, and endeavoured to draw a pistol from his pocket. But the unsuccessful pass he had made had thrown him somewhat off his bias, and though he had employed more than one effort, he had not been able to recover himself.
And then with what shame and regret would he look back upon himself! how would he reproach himself with associating himself with a whore! picked up in the worst of all holes, the cloister, among the dirt and filth of all the town! how would he be trembling for fear he had got the pox, for fear a dart had struck through his liver, and hate himself every time he looked back upon the madness and brutality of his debauch! how would he, if he had any principles of honour, as I verily believe he had I say, how would he abhor the thought of giving any ill distemper, if he had it, as for aught he knew he might, to his modest and virtuous wife, and thereby sowing the contagion in the life-blood of his posterity.
"I hold here a letter to Sir William Howe, found after our army took possession of Boston, signed by one Clowes, and conveying vastly important information as to our lack of powder, which he states he obtained through you." "Now a pox on the villain!" cried the squire. "Has he not tried to do me enough harm in other ways, but he must add this to it? Janice, see the evil ye've wrought."
A hundred students have got the pox before they have come to read Aristotle's lecture on temperance. Cicero said, that though he should live two men's ages, he should never find leisure to study the lyric poets; and I find these sophisters yet more deplorably unprofitable.
The Marquess of Argyle ... wanted nothing but honesty and courage to be a very extraordinary man. Swift. Trifles to a Scot. Impudent, lying Scottish dogs. Without he likewise consented to those. Swift. Bad. The King was received by the Marquess of Argyle with all the outward respect imaginable. Swift. That dog of all Scotch dogs. Swift. In Scotland, with a pox. The King's table was well served.

One of their favorite remedies, when the scourge first makes its appearance, is to plunge into the nearest river, by which they think to purify themselves. This course, however, in reality, tends to shorten their existence. When the small pox rages among the Aborigines, a most unenviable position is held by their "Medicine Man."
Rare News, we are all free and ransom'd! All's well, and the Man has his Mare again. Isa. You still forget your Duty and your Distance. Fran. A pox of your troublesom Honour; a man can't be overjoy'd in quiet for't. Enter Baltazer and Sebastian. Seb. Sure, I am not mistaken, this is the House of my Son Antonio. Bal. Let it be whose house 'twill, I think the Devil's broke loose in't. Seb.
