Our thoughts ring sad as bells that toll,
Not knowing beyond this blind world's girth
What things are writ in heaven's full scroll.英文原著 · 《A Century of Roundels》

Pitt in 1778 with the tories Girth, McKee, and Elliott. Zane was now satisfied that Miller was an agent of Girty and therefore of the British.

Zane and his men but to make a brave stand. Jonathan Zane and Major McColloch watched the river.英文原著 · 《Betty Zane》

And when she awoke she deemed her sleep had been long, but it was not so, but scarce a score of minutes. Anyhow, she sprang up now and went to her horse, and drew the girths tight (which she had loosed erewhile,) and so bestrode the good horse, and shook the reins, and rode away much comforted and enheartened.英文原著 · 《Child Christopher》
