“I'll drown more sailors than the mermaid shall; / I'll slay more gazers than the basilisk;”
“Like lightening flash, that hath the gazer burned, / So did the sight thereof their sense dismay, / That backe againe upon themselves they turned, / And with their ryder ranne perforce away:”
“Knots of gazers and gossips were collected in the churchyard, at the bridge, and at the spot where the hat and pumpkin had been found.”
