FALSE PAST PARTICIPLES
131
V, 64, ... strong ships gnawed by the dog-toothed sea-bank’s
fang
184, Love, brow-bound, with anguish for a wreath,
Fierce with pain, a tyrant-hearted slave . . .
269, ... a dove
Bright as those that drew
Over waves where blew
No loud winds, the blue
Heaven-hued car of love . . .
407, As 1 mentioned one night to that cowslip-faced pet, Lady
Rahab Redrabbit . . .
415, Yet her dress was of violet velvet, her hair was
hyacinth-hued . . .
[These two from a parody of Robert Browning].
Some of the above cases (as II, 111; IV, 368; V, 184,
269) may of course with equally good reasons be placed
among cases belonging to
the second group. The source of the few cases that
fall under this type is, as lias been said, a qualitative
genitive. All these instances approach the genuine participle
formations, and are difficult to place.
III, 138, Like broom-horsed witches . . .
162, Ere autumn fell on the vine-tressed hills . . .
293, The raven-figured flag that led men fighting
From field to green field of the water-world . . .
IV, 40, ... summits where the north-wind’s nest might be,
A wave-walled palace . . .
366, Thy shaft word-feathered flies yet far of me . . .
VI, 282, In the dense mid channel the steam-souled ship hung
hovering . . .
Sometimes it is very difficult to decide what kind of
participles occur; as in:
IV, 26, ... the keen triumphant air,
Sea-scented, sweeter than land-roses were . . .
B. III. Composition with other word-classes
is none too common. — The combinations formed
by numerals and numerical anverbs may be compared with
those of twin, treble, quoted above (page 126).
