GUEST,Phil d'Conch Maritime work song in general (764* d) RE: Maritime work song in general 25 May 23


With HEAVE AND HOW seems to mean, with interest or perhaps, with force implying such an exertion as makes a preson cry ho! for ho it seems to have been pronounced, by the rhyme:
        The silent soule yet cries for vengeance just
                Unto the mighty God and to his saints,
        Who though they seem in punishing slow,
        Yet pay they home at last with heave and how.
                        Harr. Ariost. xxxvii. 89.”
[A Glossary: Or, Collection of Words, Phrases, Names, and Allusions to Customs, Proverbs, &c., which Have Been Thought to Require Illustration, in the Works of English Authors, Particularly Shakespeare, and His Contemporaries …, Nares, 1822]
