Danishman

Thus would the young Richard become a Danishman in all his tendencies, and, as years advanced and power encreased, a fatal foe to Christendom.

And the Eyes of all the Marshals was Closed By the power of God and all they saw was Jenson quite a smart Danishman and me an other old Codger of a Danishman.

But at a community dance he overheard an old Danishman say as I danced by, “Dot Beckie! She vill make some man some vonderful vife!”

The Danishmen believed that they would overcome the Frenchmen.

We would walk along to where some farmer, perhaps a Danishman, was holding his little herd of cattle in a corner of the tithing yard corral and he would jerk off his cap and say, “Dees haar bees my cattle, Beeshup.”[…]And the Danishman would say, “aw! aw! Das is all right, Beeshup; I sell him.”

Thus, when Pierce describes an archetypal Danishman as one who has ‘cheekes that sag like a womans dugs ouer his chin-bone, his apparel … puft vp with bladdres of Taffatie, and his back like biefe stuft with Parsly …’, the gloss continues in the same vein: ‘If you know him not by any of these marks, look on his fingers, & you shal be sure to find half a dozen siluer rings, worth thre pence a peece.’
