Beat
 
            Like the walnut tree,
The more he is beaten, the better he’ll be.
            —Anonymous		  1
  Beaten as a road.
            —Charles Cotton		  2
  My brain is beating like the heart of Haste.
            —Sidney Lanier		  3
  Beaten like a Turco that pawns his musket.
            —Ouida		  4
  Beats like a maniac drummer in mid-battle.
            —T. Buchanan Read		  5
                Each falling hoof
Beat like a flail beneath the thresher’s roof.
            —Bayard Taylor		  6
  Beat, like the pulse, perpetual.
            —Isaac Watts		  7
