Usage examples for Knolled

Even when he is speaking of social obligations Shakespeare makes his strongest appeal not to force or command, but to the natural piety of the heart: If ever you have looked on better days, If ever been where bells have Knolled to church, If ever sat at any good man's feast, If ever from your eyelids wiped a tear, And know what 'tis to pity and be pitied, Let gentleness my strong enforcement be: In the which hope I blush, and hide my sword.
"England and the War"
Walter Raleigh
But when a man enters suddenly upon that celestial picnic, a man who is not sick of cities, but sick of hunger, a man who is not weary of courts, but weary of walking, then Shakespeare lets through his own voice with a shattering sincerity and cries the praise of practical human civilisation: If ever you have looked on better days, If ever you have sat at good men's feasts, If ever been where bells have Knolled to church, If ever from your eyelids wiped a tear Or know what 'tis to pity and be pitied.
"Appreciations and Criticisms of the Works of Charles Dickens"
