Then take the rein, double it, pass the bight of it through the terret, with the loop over the bearing-rein hook. |
The terret comes from the collection of Dr. J. Callender, and was found at Shellagreen, Culsalmond, Aberdeenshire. |
And by him that spake only as a philosopher, and natural man, it was well said, Pompa mortis magis terret, quam mors ipsa. |
The terret would originally have been attached to a chariot yoke, probably serving to guide the reins for a double harness. |
