"Mayhap, sir! A great heaviness came over me; I was oppressed in

SIR THOMAS.
"Godlier men than thou art do often feel the right hand of the Lord

WILLIAM SHAKSPEARE.
"'My brethren and children,' said the teacher, 'whenever ye want to
kill time call God to the chase, and bid the angels blow the horn;
and thus ye are sure to kill time to your heart's content. And ye

Whereas, if ye go alone, or two or three together, nay, even if ye
go in thick and gallant company, and yet provide not that these be
with ye, my word for it, and a powerfuller word than mine, ye shall
return to your supper tired and jaded, and rest little when ye want
to rest most.'"
"Hast no other head of the Doctor's?" quoth Sir Thomas.
