Examples
-
The maiden's name was Persis, and she was the daughter of a Pagan king that ruled in a country many, many -- oh, many leagues to the southward of these islands, in a country where unicorns and dragons be, and where dwelleth the phoenix and hippogriffins and the cockatrix, and where bloometh a tree that runneth blood, and where mighty princes do wondrous things.
