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 |
