Here's a health to every man Bore the brunt of wind and weather; Winnowed sore by Fortune's fan, Faded faith of chief and clan: Nairne and Caryl stand together; Here's a health to every man Bore the brunt of wind and weather!英文原著 · 《New Collected Rhymes》
I look for brunts by the way; but this I have resolved on, to wit, to run when I can, to go when I cannot run, and to creep when I cannot go. As to the main, I thank Him that loves me, I am fixed.

At present Mr. Carlyle returned to the dining-room, and bore the brunt of the anger of those savages, and it may be said, ill-used men. Not that it was vented upon him--quite the contrary--but on the memory of the unhappy peer, who lay overhead. A few had taken the precaution to insure the earl's life, and they were the best off. They left the house after a short space of time; for Mr. Carlyle's statement was indisputable, and they knew the law better than to remain, trespassers on his property.英文原著 · 《East Lynne》
Also, he was less demonstrative with the Mistress, than usual. Anyone could see his feelings were deeply hurt. And anyone who knew Lad could tell why. He had borne the brunt of the fight. And, at the last, these lesser dogs had won the victory without his aid. Still worse, his beloved Mistress,--for whom he had so blithely staked his aged life,--the Mistress had held him back by force from joining in the delirious last phases of the battle. She had made him stand tamely by, while others finished the grand work he had begun. It was not fair.英文原著 · 《Further Adventures of Lad》
"Boldly the king did then pursue Earl Svein, nor let him out of view. The blood ran down the reindeer's flank Of each sea-king -- his vessel's plank. Nor did the earl's stout warriors spare In battle-brunt the sword and spear. Earl Svein his ships of war pushed on, And lashed their stout stems one to one."英文原著 · 《Heimskringla》
