All 6 Uses of
scorn
in
Faust -- translated by Brooks
- Pardon, high words I cannot labor after,
Though the whole court should look on me with scorn;
My pathos certainly would stir thy laughter,
Hadst thou not laughter long since quite forsworn.†Chpt Allscorn = disrespect or reject as not good enough
- Pain and indignity,
Scorn and malignity,
Their work have ended.†Chpt All
- The crowd's applause has now a scornful tone;
O couldst thou hear my conscience tell its story,
How little either sire or son
Has done to merit such a glory!†Chpt All *scornful = full of strong disrespect or rejection
- And the damn'd living fluff, of man and beast the brood,
It laughs to scorn my utmost power.†Chpt Allscorn = disrespect or reject as not good enough
- The Lord of Spirits scorneth me,
Nature, shut up, resents the wrong.†Chpt Allscorneth = disrespects or rejects as not valuable enoughstandard suffix: Today, the suffix "-eth" is replaced by "-s", so that where they said "She scorneth" in older English, today we say "She scorns."
- When my scorn could scarcely find expression
At hearing of another's transgression!†Chpt Allscorn = disrespect or reject as not good enough
