Evanishes at crowing of the cock.
Sivu 40 - He was attended by his lord keeper, lord treasurer, with eight white staves, a captain of his band of pensioners, and of his guard ; and with two chaplains, who were so seriously impressed with an idea of his regal dignity, that when they preached before him on the preceding Sunday in the Temple Church, on ascending the pulpit they saluted him with three low bows. He dined both in the Hall and in his privy chamber, under a cloth of estate.
Sivu 35 - It is said to have consisted wholly of oaks, and among them was one that bore mistletoe, which some persons were so hardy as to cut for the gain of selling it to the apothecaries of London, leaving a branch of it to sprout out ; but they proved unfortunate after it, for one of them fell lame, and others lost an eye.
Sivu 43 - The Wren, the Wren, the king of all birds, St. Stephen's day was caught in the furze, Although he is little, his family's .great, I pray you, good landlady, give us a treat.
