The common curse of mankind, folly and ignorance.

Captain Edward Carlisle(..)felt a curious sensation of helplessness seize upon him as he met her steady gaze,(..); he could not tell what this prisoner might do. He cursed the fate which had assigned such a duty, cursed especially that fate which forced a gallant soldier to meet so superb a woman as this under handicap so hard.

Thou shalt not(..)curse the ruler of thy people.

Then began he to curse and to swear.

His spirits hear me, / And yet I need must curse.

On impious realms and barbarous kings impose / Thy plagues, and curse 'em with such sons as those.
