Usage examples of yeo.

By alder copses sliding slow, Knee-deep in flowers came gentler Yeo And paused awhile her locks to twine With musky hops and white woodbine, Then joined the silver-footed band, Which circled down my golden sand, By dappled park, and harbor shady, Haunt of love-lorn knight and lady, My thrice-renowned sons to greet, With rustic song and pageant meet.

Salvation Yeo, born in Clovelly Street, in the year 1526, where my father exercised the mystery of a barber surgeon, and a preacher of the people since called Anabaptists, for which I return humble thanks to God.

So out went Yeo to eat, and Amyas having received his despatches, got ready for his journey home.

And the old man wrung his hands, while Amyas, bursting with laughter, rode off down the park, with the unconscious Yeo at his stirrup, chatting away about the Indies, and delighting Amyas more and more by his shrewdness, high spirit, and rough eloquence.

Amyas, knowing that there was not an inn hard by around for many a mile ahead, took a pull at a certain bottle which Lady Grenville had put into his holster, and then offered Yeo a pull also.

So Yeo remained with Amyas, while Cary went elsewhere with Sir Warham St.

When Yeo here slew the Desmond the other day, he no more let out a drop of Irish blood, than if he had slain the lord deputy himself.

Come with us, Yeo, the Desmond-slayer, and we will shame the devil, or be shamed by him.

Raleigh gently laid his hand on her arm, and lifted her up, while Yeo and Amyas bent over the corpse.

Out goes Yeo again, and comes back once more after five minutes, in high excitement.

Out turned the men, sword in hand, burst the back door open, stumbling over pails and pitchers, and into the courtyard, where Yeo, his back against the stable-door, was holding his own manfully with sword and buckler against a dozen men.

At which imagination Yeo was actually heard, for the first and last time in this history, to laugh most heartily.

With which maxim he departed next morning for London, leaving Yeo with Cary.

So off went Yeo to Plymouth, and returned with Drew and a score of old never-strikes.
