Beyond his own more brute desires.
Scott, Marmion [Canto II.].
Methought the souls of all that I had murder'd
Came to my tent, and every one did threat——
Shakspeare. Richard III. [Act V. Sc. 3, vv. 204-5].
The times have been,
That, when the brains were out, the man would die,
And there an end; but now they rise again,
With twenty mortal murders on their crowns,
And push us from our stools.
