Tengo confianza,
De mis verdes ojos.'"
Böhl de Faber, Floresta, No. 255.
I have seen somewhere, I think in one of the historical romances of Alexander Dumas (Père), a popular jingle about
"La belle Duchesse de Nevers,
Aux yeux verts," &c.
And lastly, see Two Gentlemen of Verona, Act IV. Sc. 4., where the ordinary text has:
"Her eyes are grey as glass, and so are mine."
Here "The MS. corrector of the folio 1682 converts 'grey' into 'green:' 'Her eyes are green as grass;' and such, we have good reason to suppose, was the true reading." (Collier's Shakspeare Notes and Emendations, p. 25.)
