It has been humorously suggested that Swinburne meant to write,

"Grief with a gift of tears, Time with a glass that ran,"

or, at any rate, ought so to have written; and certainly the meaning of his verses would in that case have been more obvious. What, exactly, do they mean as they stand?

proportion of the most interesting English words belong to this section, which contains no derivatives from Greek and Latin. Old French words, of which there are many, are referable to the Teutonic element of that language which appears, slightly disguised, under an initial g (u), in such words as guetter, guerre, gaufre, for example, of which we have made "wait," "war" and "wafer."
