PLACES AND persons. ENGLAND. England were but a fling, Save for the crooked stick and the grey-goose wing. -Spoken of the high character of our archery. AU.: Fuller's Worthies, etc. He that England will win Must with Ireland first begin. Ireland furnishes England with a number of able men, provisions, etc. AU.: Fuller's Worthies: Fynes Moryson's Itinerary, 1617. This proverb probably had its rise in the popular discontent felt in Ireland at the system of plantation, which was carried into force there during the reign of James I. See Conditions to be observed by the Adventurers, etc., 1609.-BC. 200. But the saying was more anciently applied to SCOTLAND. See Hall's Chronicle, 1548; Holinshed's Chronicle, 1577; Famous Victories of Henry V., 1598, apud Hazlitt's Shakespear Library, v. 350, where it is quoted as "the old saying." The perturbed and weak state of Scotland at the time of the Protector Somerset's expedition into that then independent kingdom, probably occasioned this proverbial expression. BC. 198. The north for greatness, the east for health, The south for neatness, the west for wealth.-Fuller. Aubrey, Royal Soc. MS., fol. 24, gives— The north for largeness, the east for health, The south for building, the west for wealth.-AN. 243. B |
