Examples

“"Just come⟳ in," said Mrs. Churchill, "and take⟳ one glass of my mead." / "No—not even such a golden promise⟳ tempts me. I am afraid that Lord Marchmont will be at home before me—and he is not yet accustomed to be kept waiting."”

“No one, then or now, wanted to drink⟳ the mead that came out of Odin's arse.”

“Farewel ye crystal streams, that pass⟳ / Thro’ fragrant meads of verdant grass:”

“Hither, hither, love⟳ — / ‘Tis a shady mead — / Hither, hither, love⟳! / Let⟳ us feed⟳ and feed⟳!”

“But any man that walks the mead, / In bud, or blade, or bloom, may find⟳, / According as his humours lead⟳, / A meaning suited to his mind⟳.”

“Four voices of four hamlets round, / From far and near, on mead and moor, / Swell out and fail⟳, as if a door / Were shut⟳ between me and the sound⟳ […]”

“There ran little streams over bright pebbles, dividing meads of green and gardens of many hues, [...].”
