Can anyone help me identify the following quotations? Please
reply directly, off-list.
1)
"Our dangers and delights are near allies;
>From the same stem the rose and prickle rise."
Cooper's attribution: Alleyn
used in "The Wing-and-Wing", ch. 24 (1842)
Note: from Edward Alleyn (1566-1626)???
2)
"O, sic a geek she gave her head,
And sic a toss she gave her feather;
Man, saw ye ne'er a bonnier lass
Before, among the blooming heather?"
Cooper's attribution: Allan Cunningham
used in "The Redskins", ch. 6 (1845)
3)
"O I hae scarce to lay me on,
If kingly fields were ance my ain;
Wi' the moor-cock on the mountain-bree,
But hardship na'er can daunton me."
Cooper's attribution: Scottish Song.
Many thanks for any help; please reply directly, off list.
