covetousness bursts the bag,' and the covetous governor does ungoverned justice.
Don Quixote by Cervantes, Miguel View in context
I answered I was afraid of it when I left them there, and nothing troubled me at my parting from the island but that they were not come back, that I might have put them in possession of everything first, and left the others in a state of subjection, as they deserved; but if they had reduced them to it I was very glad, and should be very far from finding any fault with it; for I knew they were a parcel of refractory, ungoverned villains, and were fit for any manner of mischief.
The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe by Defoe, Daniel View in context
How different it was to be from the loose ungoverned part I had acted before, and how much happier a life of virtue and sobriety is, than that which we call a life of pleasure.
The Fortunes & Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders by Defoe, Daniel View in context
