"Daniel Defoe"
William Minto

"The Castle Inn"
Stanley John Weyman
Thus vanquished, though in fact victorious, 135 I left His seat of empire, from mine eye Shooting forth poisonous lightning, while my words With inauspicious thunderings shook Heaven, Proclaiming vengeance, public as my wrong, And Imprecating on His prostrate slaves 140 Rapine, and death, and outrage.
