Note 91 — CRUEL COPPINGER[90]
Reading edition
In the original form of this article, a second verse was added, and the first was slightly different.
“Will you hear of the bold, brave Coppinger? How he came of a foreign kind? He was brought to us by the salt water; He’ll be carried away by the wind. For thus the old wives croon and sing, And so the proverbs say, That whatsoever the wild waves bring The winds will bear away.”
