At Gargantuas Parisian meals, four men shovel mustard into his mouth (I, 21).

Picrochole gives the order for all-out warfare (I, 33).

Friar Jean mocks Panurge, whose courage has abandoned him during the tempest (IV, 19).

The sea monster is dragged onto the beach of the island of Farouche [Fierce] (IV, 35).

Since thou art pitiless, thy weary way
Thourt doom d to wander till the Judgment Day.

Spell-bound, they gather far and near to scan
The weird senescence of that wondrous man.

Sorrow surrenders to a dull despair.

The Judgment Day! He hears the trumpets blast;
And, prostrate, owns his Saviours love at last.

Bending beneath the burden, I was obliged to lay it down often upon the moss, and sit awhile to recover my strength.
