Note E137 — 27.

Reading edition

"Euer among," an expression of frequent occurrence in Early English, meaning "constantly, continually." Compare the Mod. Eng. "all the while." In a Carol of the fifteenth century, we read:

"Thys endus nyȝth I saw a syȝth, A stare as bryȝt as day; And ever among A mayden song Lullay, by by, lullay."

And in another:

"Our der Lady she stod hym by, And wepe water ful bytterly, And terys of blod ever among."
