_"Other-some" and "Unneath."_--I do not recollect having ever seen these
expressions, until reading Parnell's _Fairy Tale_. They occur in the
following stanzas:
"But now, to please the fairy king,
Full every deal they laugh and sing,
And antic feats devise;
Some wind and tumble like an ape,
And _other-some_ transmute their shape
In Edwin's wondering eyes.
"Till one at last, that Robin hight,
Renown'd for pinching maids by night,
Has bent him up aloof;
And full against the beam he flung,
Where by the back the youth he hung
To sprawl _unneath_ the roof."
As the author professes the poem to be "in the ancient English style," are
these words veritable ancient English? If so, some correspondent of "N. &
Q." may perhaps be able to give instances of their recurrence.
