some died without speaking others spoke without dying some died in speaking others spoke in dying
can you tell with what instruments they did it
in the meantime friar john with his formidable baton of the cross got to the breach which the enemies had made and there stood to snatch up those that endeavoured to escape
draw reach fill mix give it me without water
so my friend so whip me off this glass neatly bring me hither some claret a full weeping glass till it run over
a cessation and truce with thirst
you have catched a cold gammer yea forsooth sir
by the belly of sanct buff let us talk of our drink i never drink but at my hours like the pope's mule
which was first thirst or drinking
what it seems i do not drink but by an attorney
drink always and you shall never die
if i drink not i am a ground dry gravelled and spent i am stark dead without drink and my soul ready to fly into some marsh amongst frogs the soul never dwells in a dry place drouth kills it
he drinks in vain that feels not the pleasure of it
it is enough to break both girds and petrel
what difference is there between a bottle and a flagon
bravely and well played upon the words
our fathers drank lustily and emptied their cans
well cacked well sung
come let us drink will you send nothing to the river
i drink no more than a sponge
i drink like a templar knight
and i tanquam sponsus
and i sicut terra sine aqua
give me a synonymon for a gammon of bacon
it is the compulsory of drinkers it is a pulley
a little rain allays a great deal of wind long tippling breaks the thunder
but if there came such liquor from my ballock would you not willingly thereafter suck the udder whence it issued
here page fill
i appeal from thirst and disclaim its jurisdiction
i was wont heretofore to drink out all but now i leave nothing
heyday here are tripes fit for our sport and in earnest excellent godebillios of the dun ox you know with the black streak
o for god's sake let us lash them soundly yet thriftily
sparrows will not eat unless you bob them on the tail nor can i drink if i be not fairly spoke to
ho this will bang it soundly
but this shall banish it utterly
let us wind our horns by the sound of flagons and bottles and cry aloud that whoever hath lost his thirst come not hither to seek it
the great god made the planets and we make the platters neat
appetite comes with eating says angeston but the thirst goes away with drinking
i have a remedy against thirst quite contrary to that which is good against the biting of a mad dog
white wine here wine boys
o lachryma christi it is of the best grape
i'faith pure greek greek o the fine white wine
there is no enchantment nor charm there every one of you hath seen it
my prenticeship is out i am a free man at this trade
i should say master past
o the drinkers those that are a dry o poor thirsty souls
clear off neat supernaculum
it is significant to note in this connection that the new king was an unswerving adherent of the cult of ashur by the adherents of which he was probably strongly supported
at the beginning of his reign there was much social discontent and suffering
well might sharduris exclaim in the words of the prophet where is the king of arpad
tiglath pileser however crossed the euphrates and moving northward delivered an unexpected attack on the urartian army in qummukh
a fierce battle ensued and one of its dramatic incidents was a single combat between the rival kings
an attempt was made to capture king sharduris who leapt from his chariot and made hasty escape on horseback hotly pursued in the gathering darkness by an assyrian contingent of cavalry
despite the blow dealt against urartu assyria did not immediately regain possession of north syria
the shifty mati ilu either cherished the hope that sharduris would recover strength and again invade north syria or that he might himself establish an empire in that region
tiglath pileser had therefore to march westward again
for three years he conducted vigorous campaigns in the western land where he met with vigorous resistance
arpad was captured and mati ilu deposed and probably put to death
once again the hebrews came into contact with assyria
its fall may not have been unconnected with the trend of events in assyria during the closing years of the middle empire
jehoash the grandson of jehu had achieved successes in conflict with damascus
six months afterwards he was assassinated by shallum
this usurper held sway at samaria for only a month
no resistance was possible on the part of menahem the usurper who was probably ready to welcome the assyrian conqueror so that by arranging an alliance he might secure his own position
tiglath pileser next operated against the median and other hill tribes in the north east
he overthrew buildings destroyed orchards and transported to nineveh those of the inhabitants he had not put to the sword with all the live stock he could lay hands on
thus was urartu crippled and humiliated it never regained its former prestige among the northern states
in the following year tiglath pileser returned to syria
menahem king of israel had died and was succeeded by his son pekahiah
judah had taken advantage of the disturbed conditions in israel to assert its independence
he condemned israel for its idolatries and cried
for thus saith the lord unto the house of israel seek ye me and ye shall live have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years o house of israel
the remnant of the philistines shall perish
israel was also dealt with
he swept through israel like a hurricane
the philistines and the arabians of the desert were also subdued
he invaded babylonia
ukinzer took refuge in his capital shapia which held out successfully although the surrounding country was ravaged and despoiled
would it would leave me and then i could believe i shall not always have occasion for it
my poor lady vavasour is carried to the tower and her great belly could not excuse her because she was acquainted by somebody that there was a plot against the protector and did not discover it
she has told now all that was told her but vows she will never say from whence she had it we shall see whether her resolutions are as unalterable as those of my lady talmash
i wonder how she behaved herself when she was married
i never saw any one yet that did not look simply and out of countenance nor ever knew a wedding well designed but one and that was of two persons who had time enough i confess to contrive it and nobody to please in't but themselves
the truth is i could not endure to be missus bride in a public wedding to be made the happiest person on earth
do not take it ill for i would endure it if i could rather than fail but in earnest i do not think it were possible for me
yet in earnest your father will not find my brother peyton wanting in civility though he is not a man of much compliment unless it be in his letters to me nor an unreasonable person in anything so he will allow him out of his kindness to his wife to set a higher value upon her sister than she deserves
my aunt told me no longer agone than yesterday that i was the most wilful woman that ever she knew and had an obstinacy of spirit nothing could overcome take heed
you see i give you fair warning
by the next i shall be gone into kent and my other journey is laid aside which i am not displeased at because it would have broken our intercourse very much
here are some verses of cowley's tell me how you like them
i told you in my last that my suffolk journey was laid aside and that into kent hastened
if i drown by the way this will be my last letter and like a will i bequeath all my kindness to you in it with a charge never to bestow it all upon another mistress lest my ghost rise again and haunt you
indeed i like him extremely and he is commended to me by people that know him very well and are able to judge for a most excellent servant and faithful as possible
because you find fault with my other letters this is like to be shorter than they i did not intend it so though i can assure you
i do not find it though i am told i was so extremely when i believed you loved me
but i am called upon
directed for your master
i see you can chide when you please and with authority but i deserve it i confess and all i can say for myself is that my fault proceeded from a very good principle in me
we dare not let our tongues lie more on one side of our mouths than t'other for fear of overturning it
you are satisfied i hope ere this that i scaped drowning
