[It is obvious, from the following lines from Swift's poem, The Grand Question debated whether Hamilton's Bawn should be turned into a Barrack or Malt-house, 1729, that a Bawn was there used to signify a building, and not an inclosure:—
"This Hamilton's bawn, while it sticks in my hand,
I lose by the house what I get by the land;
But how to dispose of it to the best bidder,
For a barrack or malt-house, we now must consider."
And in a foot-note on Hamilton's bawn, in the original edition, it is described as "a large old house, two miles from Sir Arthur Acheson's seat.">[
Versicle and Response.—What is the meaning of the following versicle and its response, which occur in both Morning and Evening Prayer?
"Give peace in our time, O Lord,
Because there is none other that fighteth for us
but only thou, O God!"
