- Title
AN ADDENDUM TO APPERSON.
- Authors
Morton, Gerald W.
- Abstract
The article purposes to supplement Edmund Apperson's list of sources for the line "Time and Tide Wait for No Man," an English proverbial phrase that he traces. The parenthetical "you know" of Fane's line suggests that the line was well known, a proverb as Apperson indicates. However, the wording Fane uses is very close to that used by G. Brathwait in English Gentleman "Whence we commonly say, Time and tide stayeth for no man.' Because Fane was well read he may have taken the idea from Brathwait, or simply, as his own parenthetical expression suggests, been repeating a proverb that he found appropriate."
