Resistless

His name was Talus, made of yron mould, / Immoveable, resistlesse, without end […]

Maſters commands come with a power reſiſtleſs / To ſuch as owe them abſolute ſubjection; / And for a life who will not change his purpoſe? / (So mutable are all the ways of men) / Yet this be ſure, in nothing to comply / Scandalous or forbidden in our Law.

Delving earth in his resistless way, / Howling, the Child with fierce flames / Issu'd from Enitharmon.

My limbs now tremble, and my eyes swim with the remembrance; but then a resistless, and almost frantic, impulse, urged me forward; I seemed to have lost all soul or sensation but for this one pursuit.

I seize the descending man .... I raise him with resistless will. / O despairer, here is my neck, / By God! you shall not go down! Hang your whole weight upon me.

Is all our Life, then, but a dream / Seen faintly in the golden gleam / Athwart Time's dark resistless stream?

All this time they were doing something—I could not see what—to the corpse; sometimes they were too busy rifling the dead body, I believe, to talk; again they let it fall with a heavy, resistless thud, and took to quarrelling.
