P. S.--I have just seen H. C. K.'s observation on "clamour your tongues"
in the _Winter's Tale_, and it really seems strange that he should not
have read, or should have forgotten my view of it in "N. & Q.," which is
precisely similar to his own. As to suspecting him of pilfering from me,
nothing is farther from my thoughts.
_Meaning of Delighted._--With reference to the word _delighted_ in
Shakspeare, much discussed in "N. & Q.," may I remind you that we call
that which carries (or is furnished, or provided with) wings, _winged_;
that which carries wheels, _wheeled_; that which carries masts, _masted_;
and so on. Why then should not a pre-Johnsonian writer call that
which carries delight, _delighted_? It appears to me that this will
sufficiently explain "delighted beauty;" and "the delighted spirit" I
would account for in the same way: only remarking that in this case,
the borne delights meant are delights to the bearer; in the other case,
delights to all whom the bearer approaches.
