Is one ever in a state of obloquy? or it it something raised against one,like a petition? Would the articles against Anne Boleyn represent or result in obloquy? Would her appearance be an obloquy, lying there, headless, at the moment following her beheading at the behest of King Henry VIII? Was the event an obloquy? Help me please.
Also such language; calumny.
Complaining, as he did, in a half-menacing strain, of the obloquies raised against him--- 'That if he were innocent, he should despise the obloquy; if not, revenge would not wipe off his guilt.'
Clarissa Harlowe quoting Lovelace, Clarissa by Samuel Richardson.
