fain
fayn
- s having made preparations
- r in a willing manner
I would fain do it
- And if other nations stand aside from that troika that may be, not from respect, as the poets would fain believe, but simply from horror.
- And again: "The devil is waiting for sinners, hell is gaping for them, the flames gather and flash about them, and would fain lay hold on them and swallow them up.
- And I fain would use it (the foot) to kick the gobbledygook-talking diplomats in their hindsight.
