When love-longing for her sweet sake I took upon myself, The railers flocked to me anon, on blame and chiding bent; But on no wise was I Affrayed nor turned from love of her; So let the railer rave of her henceforth his heart's content.
"Tales from the Arabic Volume 3"
John Payne
I was about to offer some friendly greeting when our ears were Affrayed by a loud blast of a hunting horn which came from a furlong's distance in the wood.
"Cedric, the Forester"
Bernard Gay Marshall
It was one of those listless panics, those strange fits of indifference and lethargy which often seize upon a people who make liberty a matter of impulse and caprice, to whom it has become a catchword, who have not long enjoyed all its rational, and sound, and practical, and blessed results; who have been Affrayed by the storms that herald its dawn;-a people such as is common to the south: such as even the north has known; such as, had Cromwell lived a year longer, even England might have seen; and, indeed, in some measure, such a reaction from popular enthusiasm to popular indifference England did see, when her children madly surrendered the fruits of a bloody war, without reserve, without foresight, to the lewd pensioner of Louis, and the royal murderer of Sydney.
