When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, Tore open More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name: 4. Law is law-law is law; and as in such and so forth and hereby, and aforesaid, provided always, nevertheless, notwithstanding. Law is like a country dance, people are led up and down in it till they are tired. Law is like a book of surgery, there are a great many desperate cases in it. It is also like physic, they that take least of it are best off. Law is like a homely gentlewoman, very well to follow. Law is also like a scolding wife, very bad when it follows us. Law is like a new fashion, people are be witched to get into it: it is also like bad weather, most people are glad when they get out of it. 5. Come, dance, elfins, dance! for my harp is in tune, Each lily that bends to the breast of my stream, And sleeps on the waters transparently bright, And the notes ye have heard with such rapture before, 6. Oh! water for me! bright water for me, And wine for the tremulous debauchee ! It cooleth the brow, it cooleth the brain, It comes o'er the sense like a breeze from the sea, Oh! water, bright water for me, for me! Fill to the brim! fill, fill to the brim, When o'er the hills like a gladsome bride As he freshens his wing in the cold gray cloud. But when evening has quitted her sheltering yew, Her dusky meshes o'er land and sea, How gently, O sleep, fall thy poppies on me! And my dreams are of Heaven, the live-long night; POSITIVENESS, CONFIDENCE, AUTHORITY, &c. All expressions of full and settled Conviction or Confidence on the part of the speaker, have their appropriate symbols; and the same elements which express Certainty are very naturally employed to express Authoritative Command. They will be found to be the same; and the elements for denoting these sentiments are the Downward Slides, and the Radical Stress; and, in energetic expression, these are generally combined with Force. These characteristics of speech belong also to Denying, Reproving, Refusing and Forbidding, to Reprehension and Denunciation, and to Defiance and Adjuration, as well as to strong Affirmation; and even to warm Argument, when employed in defence of one's own rights. Also in their moderate degrees, these elements are suited to Instruction and Precept.—It is not perhaps surprising, that the confidence even of Despair and Resignation should express itself by the Downward movements of the voice. Vaunting Authority, and a degree of positiveness which implies Self-Admiration, require a Harsh Voice, and the Vanishing Stress; and admit the Equal Direct Wave, combined with the Median Stress on syllables which are emphatic and admit of long quantity. 1. EXAMPLES. Your grace shall pardon me, I will not back; 2. To be a secondary at control, Or useful serving-man and instrument To any sovereign state throughout the world. After young Arthur, claim this land for mine; Because that John hath made his peace with Rome? To underprop this action? Is't not I That undergo this charge? Who else but I, And such as to my claim are liable, Sweat in this business, and maintain this war? However heaven or fortune casts my lot, Never did captive with a freer heart Cast off his chains of bondage, and embrace More than my dancing soul to celebrate Most mighty liege,-and my companion peers, Go I to fight,-truth hath a quiet breast. 3. Let them lay by their helmets and their spears, Draw near, And list what with our council we have done. For that our kingdom's earth should not be soiled And for our eyes do hate the dire aspect Of civil wounds, ploughed up with neighbor's swords; You, cousin Hereford, upon pain of death, Till twice five summers have enriched our fields, Shall not regreet our fair dominions, But tread the stranger paths of banishment. 4. On pain of death no person be so bold 5. Met. Most high, most mighty, and most puissant Cæsar, Metellus Cimber throws before thy feet An humble heart. Cæs. I must prevent thee, Cimber; These crouchings, and these lowly courtesies And turn pre-ordinance, and first decree, To think that Cæsar bears such rebel blood, With that which melteth fools; I mean sweet words, |
