'"May the Son of the living God, with all the glory of his Majesty"'-
[Here my uncle Toby, throwing back his head, gave a monstrous, long, loud Whew - w - w. By the golden beard of Jupiter and Juno and by the beards of the other heathen deities, which by the bye was no small number, what with the beards of your celestial gods, town-gods and country-gods, and celestial goddesses - all of which beards, when counted together, made no less than thirty thousand effective beards in the Pagan establishment - every beard of which claimed the rights of being sworn by - by all these beards together - I vow that of the two bad cassocks I am worth in the world, I would have given the better of them to have been there, and heard my uncle Toby's accompaniment.]
