104 VOCABULARY
Some instances follow from the later collections:
V, 16, ... strong
As death and sweet as death-annihilating song . . .
178, Wind and sea and cloud and cloud-forsaking
Mirth of moonlight where the storm lets free
Heaven . . .
199, If their old king-hating heart within you fail
303, Rage, anguish, harrowing fear, heart-crazing crime . . .
VI, 116, ... many a written sign of spirit-searching lore . . .
341, Our man of men whose time-commanding name . . .
413, Life-wasting love, hate born of raging lust . . .

a verb and an adverbial phrase, the quality of the latter
being variable. Out of thirteen cases given here, six show

and three cause. The following prepositions must be
supplemented in an analysis of these thirteen compounds: in
two cases through; in three, over; by (at), in, with, occur
in two cases severally. One case demands through or
from, and one through or over.
As has already been mentioned, the scarcity of cases
