[95] Macbeth, V. iii. 11.

[96] IV. vi. 17.

[97] II. iii. 82.

[98] Thus in the song of the “Ewie wi’ the crooked horn” the knave that did the mischief is thus maledicted:

O had I but the loon that did it,

I hae sworn as well as said it,

Though the parson should forbid it

I wad gie his neck a thraw.

[99] Hamlet, IV. v. 40.
