Examples
“Queen Elizabeth to the king of Scots:/ "When the first blast of a strange, unused, and seld heard of sound⟳ had pierced my ears, I supposed that flying fame, who with swift quills oft paceth with the worst, had brought report⟳ of some untruth, but when too too many records in your open⟳ parliament were witnesses of such pronounced words, not more to my disgrace than to your dishonor, who did forget⟳ that (above all other regard) a prince's word ought utter nought of any, much less of a king, than such as to which truth might say⟳ Amen: But you, neglecting all care of yourself, what danger of reproach, besides somewhat else, might light⟳ upon you, have⟳ chosen so unseemly a theme to charge your only careful friend withal, of such matter⟳ as (were you not amazed in all senses) could not have⟳ been expected at your hands; of such imagined untruths as were never thought of in our time; and do wonder⟳ what evil spirits have⟳ possessed you, to set⟳ forth so infamous devices void of any show⟳ of truth.”
“The master paceth up and down his halls, And in the empty hours Can hear⟳ the tottering of his towers And tremor of their bases underground.”
“Through forest aisles while the wind chanteth low-- In God's cathedral where the great trees grow⟳, Now all day long he paceth to and fro.”
“Then that small voice made a word and said: "Why paceth the fool up and down our hall, doing nothing, even as the Ravens flap croaking about the crags, abiding the war-mote and the clash of the fallow blades?"”
