In the American Revolution the air of _Yankee Doodle_ was sung to
various sets of words, all derisive of the British and exhilarating to
the Americans.
In the Civil War of the United States _The Star-Spangled Banner_, _Hail
Columbia_, _Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!_ and Julia Ward Howe's _Battle Hymn of

=Rewcastle= (_Old John_), a Jedburgh smuggler, and one of the Jacobite
conspirators with the laird of Ellieslaw.--Sir W. Scott, _The Black
Dwarf_ (time, Anne).
=Reynaldo=, a servant to Polonius.--Shakespeare, _Hamlet_ (1596).
=Reynard the Fox=, the hero of the beast-epic so called. This prose poem
is a satire on the state of Germany in the Middle Ages. Reynard

uncle, Isengrin, and generally succeeds.--_Reinecke Fuchs_
(thierepos,[TN-125] 1498).

His manners were gentle, complying and bland ...
To coxcombs averse, yet most civilly steering,

When they talked of their Raphaels, Corregios, and stuff,
He shifted his trumpet, and only took snuff.
_Retaliation_ (1774).
