“All that is good is beautiful and fair.” A HYMN OF HEAVENLY BEAUTY. And again “All that fair is, is by nature good; That is a sign to know the gentle blood.”—IBID.

After he was _sodden_ for a sufficient time, the savages fulfilled to the letter the King’s hasty exclamation by _supping the shirra’-broo_!” If the subject were more agreeable to dwell upon, it would be easy to furnish many other well-attested instances of the slaking of hunger and the thirst of revenge by a repast of human flesh.
