| [10] | Cove, a word erroneously supposed to be slang. It is derived from the Gypsy covo or covi, meaning that—that fellow, that thing. |
JUDGE WYMAN
a rural yankee legend
Long ago, in the State of Maine,
There lived a Judge—a good old soul,
Rather well up in “genial vein,”
And not by any means “down on” the bowl.
N.B.—By “bowl” I mean the “cup,”
And by “cup”—N.B.—I mean a glass,
Since neither bowls nor cups go up
