For how often in those days I used to ride out to where the flock of one to two thousand sheep were scattered on the plain, to sit on my pony and watch the glad ROMPS of the little lambs with keenest delight!
"Afoot in England"
W.H. Hudson
Mr. Harry Furniss's "ROMPS" reflects his keen delight in young people, the wilder the better.
"The History of "Punch""
M. H. Spielmann
The sunlight has gone into her blood, and she ROMPS with her mother and Milord amid the hay, or, stretched at length, she listens to the green air of the lawn, her dreams ripple like water along a vessel's side, the white wake of the past in bubble behind her; and when the life of the landscape is burnt out, and the day in dying seems to have left its soul behind, she stands watching, her thoughts curdling gently, the elliptical flight of the swallows through the gloom, and the flutter of the bats upon the dead sky.
"Muslin"
George Moore
