Ken
Spright from Yorkshire fished the Muckle Troot loch using hairy looking sedges and he tempted 12 fish to the net, one being an 8lb specimen he was very relieved to eventually land.
Thy Conquerour doth turne his Face: my prophesying
spright Did neuer yet disclose to mee so notable a sight: It makes mee lothe, that shiuering heere I stande.
The soul is thus to be identified with beauty - we find the same idea in Epithalamion, in which Spenser speaks about the "inward Beauty" of the "lively
spright."
Her body, late the prison of sad paine, Now the sweet lodge of loue and deare delight: But she faire Lady ouercommen quight Of huge affection, did in pleasure melt, And in sweete rauishment pourd out her
spright (45.3-7; 1590 ed.) While Spenser alters this ending in his 1596 edition in order to expand the pair's story into Book IV, (22) the 1590 Faerie Queene ends leaving the rest to our imagination as "those louers with sweet counteruayle, / Each other of loues bitter fruit despoile" (47.1-2).
The wisdome of Doctor Dodypoll (1600) also features the hell-feast: "What hellish
spright ordain'd this hateful feast,/ That ends with horror thus and discontent?" (27) The hellishness of feasting is casually noted in The Tragedy of Alphonsus Emperour of Germany (1654):
And happy lines, on which with starry light, those lamping eyes will deigne sometimes to look and reade the sorrowes of my dying
spright, written in teares in harts close bleeding book.
Lightly he clipt her twixt his armes twaine, And streightly did embrace her body bright, Her body, late the prison of sad paine, Now the sweet lodge of love and deare delight: But she faire Lady overcommen quite In huge affection, did in pleasure melt, And in sweet ravishment pourd out her
spright: No word they spake, nor earthly thing they felt, But like two senceless stocks in long embracement dwelt (III xii 45, 1590 ed.).
FARMER Mark
Spright from Cambridgeshire tore up his pick-yourown strawberry crop three years ago saying a quarter of each year's yield was being lost to greedy pickers who were eating for free.
Andrew
Spright, 27, a corporate affairs manager for Tesco from Newport who now lives in Islington, was making his way to north London for a four-day cricket tour and was on a bus travelling to Liverpool Street Station when he and other passengers learned that a bomb had gone off on a Tube train between the rail terminal and Aldgate, and was forced off the bus.
The hot hatch is very
spright but the signature tune from the chrome tailpipe can seem harsh.
