Bruce O. | Lyr Req: Hal n Toe? / Hal an Tow (26) | RE: Lyr Req: Hal n Toe | 09 Jan 00 |
Shakespeare could have gotten it for just about anywhere, or he could have written it. Wearing of horns is a very common old symbolism for a cuckold, and there are many pieces that refer to it as well as woodcuts on broadside ballads showing a man with horns. Search on 'horn' and 'cuckold' in the broadside ballad index on my website for some of these. |
