FALSE PAST PARTICIPLES

125

II, 162, And shields were lowered, and snapt were spears,
And sweeter-tuned the clamorous years . . .

III, 127, A trumpet stormier-sounded

Than once from lists rebounded
When strong men sense-confounded
Fell thick in tourney here . . .

IV, 22, Like youth being soft and subtler-eyed than age . . .
161, And lowlier-hearted than of old . . .

V, 340, And his hands are as sunny

As ruddy ripe corn

Or the browner-hued honey

From the heather-bells borne.

Cf. IV, 31 r 361; etc.

As regards the substantival part of these compounds,
it may be suitable to make a division into categories.
Foremost amongst these, then, come the words that denote the
parts and qualities of mind and body. As the context is
of little importance in these cases, I simply give a list, with
the place of quotation mentioned in every case.

I, 250, faint-headed; 11, 18, golden-headed;

II, 264, starry-headed; 153, cold-lipped;

II, 285, sweet-voiced; III, 63, golden-mouthed;

III, 316, strange-eyed; IV, 22, subtler-eyed;

IV, 47, hot-mouthed; 73, blithe-faced;

IV, 358, crook-toothed; VI, 202, keenest-eyed.

I, 265, fresh-blooded; II, 176, bloody-footed;
III, 239, deep-wrinkled; IV, 279, green-haired.

Heart, mind, soul, and equivalent words, afford the
greatest number of such formations. Especially it is so in
the case of soul, which gives the following 20
combinations.

II, 47, beautiful-souled; 56, sweet-souled;
94, new-souled; 181, secret-souled;

236, sunlike-souled.

III, 16, fell-souled; 17, twin-souled;

79, fruitful-souled; 235, sullen-souled;
321, subtle-souled.

IV, 160, steadfast-souled; 205, still-souled;
248, snowy-souled; 263, violent-souled.
