In Scots, the word "eve" is even, and this is contracted to e'en or een. Over time, (All) Hallow(s) E(v)en evolved into Hallowe'en. Although the phrase "All Hallows'" is found in Old English "All Hallows' Eve" is itself not seen until 1556.

In the 1700s, Football was known to cause riots and severe damage to both property and players. Football in general had almost an ill repute. Football was mainly played during times of festival like New Years Day or Fastern's E'en. During these events, football was a "mass participant, low regulation event".

Haig was born in Jedburgh, moving to Melrose when young. He was employed at a butcher's shop. After participating in the traditional annual Fastern's E'en Ba game, he became interested in the similar game of rugby union, joining the local Melrose RFC side in 1880, initially playing for the seconds before making the first team and also playing for South of Scotland.

103: 16–19. Of these, one (the type locality on Mount Tujuh) may already be extinct due to poaching by plant collectors; in 2007, E'En Endatno observed only a single N. aristolochioides plant on Mount Tujuh. The other two sites are located on remote peaks and support only "a few dozen" plants, as determined by McPherson. Nepenthes aristolochioides inhabits Sphagnum-dominated mossy forest near the tops of steep ridges.

The two then briefly discuss Hamlet's insanity (which they are able to do because the Gravedigger does not know Hamlet by sight). It is shortly thereafter that the Gravedigger points out a skull that used to belong to Yorick, the king's jester and Hamlet's caretaker. Hamlet asks if this could really be so, and the Gravedigger responds with, "E'en that," (V.i.159), marking his last line in the play.

Fastern's E'enOnline Scots Dictionary was a festival in Scotland, held on the Tuesday before Lent, otherwise known as Shrove Tuesday. Valuable foods like meat, butter and fat were used up in a feast and associated celebrations before the sacrifices of Lent. Various alternative names were used in different districts, for example Bannock Nicht, Beef Brose and Shriften E'en. Some places held games of football or handball, for example Jedburgh held the Callant's Baw game between the "uppies" and the "dounies".

His delivery was striking; it is said that Thomas Herring attended his services, as samples of effective utterance. His communion services were known for fervour, and he was a sedulous pastor. Hughes admits a "particular turn of temper" which was not always agreeable. Satiric verses (1735?) describing London dissenting divines open with the lines: > Behold how papal Wright with lordly pride Directs his haughty eye to either > side, Gives forth his doctrine with imperious nod, And fraught with pride > addresses e'en his God Thomas Newman (1692–1758) was his assistant and successor.

These fairs were eagerly looked forward to by merchants and were especially busy for the shopkeepers and the taverns.Percy, Page 292 Farm labourers hoped to either renew or gain better employment at these Dudsday fairs. The 'Ayr Advertiser' for 21 October 1920 records of a hiring event that "There were not a great many single men engaged, a large proportion of them preferring to wait till Dudd's Day." Archibald McKay in his 1880 'History of Kilmarnock' makes mention of several fairs such as 'Fastern's E'en' (Shrove Tuesday) but gives no reference to Dudsday or any tradition of hiring fairs.

Paul Otto Manz (May 10, 1919 - October 28, 2009In Memoriam (Morningstar Music) ), was an American composer for choir and organ. His most famous choral work is the Advent motet "E'en So, Lord Jesus, Quickly Come", which has been performed at the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols at King's College, Cambridge, though its broadcast by the neighbouring Choir of St John's College, Cambridge, in its Advent Carol Service precipitated its popularity.Christmas hymn born out of anquish (Dan Olson, Minnesota Public Radio. December 21, 2004) His most famous organ works are his volumes of neo- Baroque chorale preludes and partitas.

Muhammad is referred to in the hymn as "that Imposter" and "that Arab Thief". Later versions of the third verse were changed to "E'en now the Moslem fiend expel, And chase his doctrine back to hell". The hymn also engaged in polemics with regard to theological controversies of its day, namely the conflict between John Taylor's Unitarianism and Christians who held a trinitarian universalism perspective. The fourth stanza had always expressed the trinitarian universalism perspective; earlier versions of the third stanza ended with "The Unitarian fiend expel/And chase his doctrine back to hell" referring to Islam and its teaching, but also more explicitly to this controversy.

We don't, for instance, count a bus ride as one of the coaches if we only know during the action that she had ridden the bus that morning. The title 'Nine Coaches Waiting' is derived from the play The Revenger's Tragedy by Thomas Middleton - Oh, think upon the pleasure of the palace: Secured ease and state, the stirring meats, Ready to move out of the dishes, That e'en now quicken when they're eaten, Banquets abroad by torch-light, musics, sports, Bare-headed vassals that had ne'er the fortune To keep on their own hats but let horns [wear] 'em, Nine coaches waiting. Hurry, hurry, hurry! Ay, to the devil.

But, > Lord, beneath my mirthful face I hide a tear, And when the crowd laugh at > the fair They seem to gibe at my despair And mock my fear. Lord, I am poor > save in this wise: A child have I, And as I joke the best I may, He, > uncomplaining fades away And soon must die.

A contemporary biographer claimed that King William III preferred Cock ale over wine. The drink's entry in Robert Nares's Glossary describes it as "a sort of ale which was very celebrated in the seventeenth century for its superior quality". Also included in that entry is a quote from Ned Ward's The London Spy, which calls Cock ale "a mixture of small-beer and treacle", although the author continues: "if this be cock-ale, said I, e'en let cocks-combs drink it." Nathan Bailey's Dictionarium britannicum (1736) describes it as a "pleasant drink, said to be provocative", a sentiment mirrored by Francis Grose's Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue (1785), which also calls it provocative.

Several sources claim she was killed during the Battle of Savannah in 1778. "Romantic Victorians" such as George Pope Morris claimed that even her lover did not recognize her until after she was killed and her body was prepared for burial. Morris's poem about St. Clair begins: In the ranks of Marion's band, Through morass and wooded land, Over beach of yellow sand, Mountain, plain and valley; A southern maid, in all her pride, March'd gayly at her lover's side, In such disguise That e'en his eyes Did not discover Sally. Morris describes St. Clair as a "beautiful, dark-eyed Creole girl" with "long, jetty ringlets," and claims that she died of a lance thrust aimed at her lover, Sergeant Jasper.

Sir Andrew Agnew of Lochnaw (5th Baronet) commanded his men "Dinna fire till ye can see the whites of their e'en," from which the saying "Don't fire until you can see the whites of their eyes" is taken. At Dettingen, Bavaria, on 27 June 1743, Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Andrew gave to the men or his regiment, the 21st (Royal North British Fusilier) Regiment of Foot, an order from which this saying is derived. A man of spirit even for the times, he had earlier in the day replied to a brigade order that "the scoundrels will never have the impudence to attack the Scots Fusiliers", but they did. Formed in square, the Scots Fusiliers held a steady fire rolling along their lines and kept off the advancing French infantry.

A later German poem exploring the same subject with a prominent vampiric element was The Bride of Corinth (1797) by Goethe, a story about a young woman who returns from the grave to seek her betrothed: The story is turned into an expression of the conflict between Heathendom and Christianity: the family of the dead girl are Christians, while the young man and his relatives are still pagans. It turns out that it was the girl's Christian mother who broke off her engagement and forced her to become a nun, eventually driving her to her death. The motive behind the girl's return as a "spectre" is that "e'en Earth can never cool down love". Goethe had been inspired by the story of Philinnion by Phlegon of Tralles, a tale from classical Greece.

The contributions of the burgh council were chiefly derived from the common good — that is, the common property of the burgh — consisting of lands, houses, mills, fishings, feu-duties, customs, feudal casualties, entry-money of burgesses, fines, and casualties. A couple of examples from the Burgh Records of Kirkcudbright show that in 1696 the tacksman of the "ladle" was ordered to pay to the schoolmaster £15, 2s. 4d., which shall be allowed to him in the ' fore-end of his rent (effectively the Ferryman had to pay £15+ a year for the ferry concession) and in 1696 the schoolmaster of Kirkcudbright received £7 as part of his harvest salary from a fine imposed for "blood and battery". Another, not inconsiderable, source of master's emoluments was the proceeds of cockfighting, which was common in all Scottish Burgh schools on Shrove Tuesday—Pastern's E'en.

As soon as he realised the nature of the woman, he became incredibly frightened. Later in the century, 1790, ladies of the court reported being disturbed throughout their stay at the estate by footsteps pacing up and down their chambers. The legend was immortalised in song in the 1800s, the known lyrics of which are: > O Pearlin' Jean, O Pearlin' Jean, She haunts the house, she haunts the green > And glowers on us a' wi' her wullcat e'en And > For all the silver in English bank, Nor yet for all the gold, Would I pass > through the hall of Allanbank When the midnight bell has toll'd After the main house was demolished in the 1800s, with a bowling green being placed over the foundations, the ghost has faded into history, with no contemporary sightings. Even after this, in the beginnings of the 20th century the estate holders found it almost impossible to find tenants for the land.

On subsequent evenings he comes home to find other strange items, such as boots, a sword and a coat, for which his wife gives him equally far-fetched explanations. Finally, he goes to bed, where he finds a "sturdy man", who his wife tells him is a new milkmaid her mother sent her, to which he replies that "long-bearded maidens I saw never nane." Another version appeared in R. A. Smith's 1823 collection, The Scotish Minstrel, as "Hame Cam Our Gudeman at E'en" ("Home came the husband at evening"). The early verses of this are much the same as in the Herd version, but in the final verse the husband finds a highland plaid, which reveals the stranger to be a refugee from the Jacobite Wars: Francis James Child, in The English And Scottish Popular Ballads (1882), noted the version published by Herd (which he called A), and a different version (B) called "The Merry Cuckold and the Kind Wife", which was published as a broadside in London.

And views its circling current sweep, In constant journey, to the deep; Emblem of man, whose ceaseless wave Is rolled to that dark gulf, the grave! When starry evening pours her ray, And mellows all the landscape gay; These bowers so formed by nature's care, Receive the constant, plighted pair, Whose hearts are one, by feeling blent; Whose souls (entwined each ligament) Have breathed that vow which, heard on high, E'en angels witness in the sky:- Elate with joy, with rapture warm, They gather every passing charm; And o'er the future, spread each flower Which hope can cull from fancy's bower; And fondly view their years bestrewed With roseate bliss and halcyon good. Ah! Reckless they what griefs assail, When bleak misfortune blows her gale:- Affections crushed by wasting Death, The eye bedimmed, and gasped the breath; Beauty's bright form to dust returned, And life's fond hopes with her enurned; A solitary mourner's tread Is heard o'er mansions of the dead; The sad spectator of mankind, Who lives without one joy behind. But see, a gayer scene inspires, Where love illumes his brightest fires; And keener points his polished dart, To carry captive all the heart.
