ruzuzu commented on the word alas and alack
The first two examples I saw have alas and alack a day:
"But alas and alack a day! though they were thick and rich and wide, they failed to reach the floor by a good foot's breadth -- a fact unnoticed by the star."
—Stage Confidences
"But alas and alack a day!"
