See Keils Bibl. 3, 1, p. 133. King reads, Lugal-diri-tu-gab. Kosmologie, pp. 481 seq. Belser, Beiträge zur Assyr. ii. 203, col. vi. Kossaer, pp. 25-27. Delitzsch, Kossaer, p. 33. See above, p. 105. Examples of punning etymologies on names of gods are frequent. See Jensen's discussion of Nergal for examples of various plays upon the name of the god. Kosmologie, pp. 185 seq.
At the top of the page of music are whole notes easy to play; below there are whole notes in groups of two, joined like confluent living cells. There are several examples of punning to record not brilliant, even somewhat vulgar yet interesting as exhibiting varieties of mental action. I dream that I am at a barn yard trying to hold the gate shut.
It was bad enough when the guying came from a boy, but when a girl took to punning, jeering, or giggling at him it seemed as if his burden was greater than he could bear. Then he would go home through the woods and fields to avoid human beings, so hurt and unhappy that nothing but his mother's greeting and the smell of a good supper could cheer him. At home he had no trouble.
Toler, afterward Lord Norbury of punning celebrity, had some words with Sir Jonah Barrington. They left the House to settle the dispute outside, but the Speaker, perceiving them, sent the sergeant-at-arms with his attendants to bring them back. They caught Toler just as the skirts of his coat had become so entangled in a door-handle that they were torn completely off.
The princess did not appear to understand him, for she retorted his question: "How do you like falling in?" said the princess. "Beyond everything," answered he; "for I have fallen in with the only perfect creature I ever saw." "No more of that. I am tired of it," said the princess. Perhaps she shared her father's aversion to punning. "Don't you like falling in, then?" said the prince.
"Middlemore, when will you renounce that vile habit of punning?" said De Courcy with an earnestness of adjuration that excited a general laugh at his end of the table "Come, Villiers, never mind his nonsense, for your premises, although a little long, are not without deep interest but what has all this to do with our good friend above?" "You shall hear.
There is a most crying Dulness on both Sides. I have seen Tory Acrosticks and Whig Anagrams, and do not quarrel with either of them, because they are Whigs or Tories, but because they are Anagrams and Acrosticks. But to return to Punning.
Lamb's punning jest at Wordsworth that Wordsworth was saying he could have written Hamlet, if he had had the mind puts the matter directly. What is the mind that can do such things? The historian will have to ask himself a similar question about Jesus. Here we reach a point where caution is necessary.
"And it's a bad thing to be light-haired," screamed she, determined to have more last words, now that her spirit was roused. The queen's hair was black as night; and the king's had been, and his daughter's was, golden as morning. But it was not this reflection on his hair that arrested him; it was the double use of the word light. For the king hated all witticisms, and punning especially.
To him she talks, rather than writes, as she talks to her intimates, in overwhelming voluble fashion, gossiping, punning, often playing the buffoon, as she does with that little set of hers at her retreat of the "Hermitage." Persons, even places, have their nicknames. St. Petersburg is the "Duck-pond"; Grimm himself the "Fag," "Souffredouleur," George Dandin, "M. le Baron de Thunder-ten-Tronck."
