Fils à putain, fet-il, lechiere, Vo jouglerie m’est trop chiere, _Dehait_ qui vous i aporta, Par mon chief il le comparra. _De S. Pierre et du Jougleor_, 381. The term was very early engrafted on the Saxon phraseology. Thus in the _Disputation of Ane Hule and a Niȝtingale_, l. 99. _Dahet_ habbe that ilke best, That fuleth his owe nest! It occurs also frequently in the Old English Romances. _See_ Sir Tristr. pp. 111, 191; Horn Childe, ap. Rits. V. 3, p. 290; Amis and Amil. 1569; Sevyn Sages, 2395; R. Brunne, where it is printed by Hearne _Dayet_. To this word, in all probability, we are indebted for the modern imprecation of _Dase you!_ _Dise you!_ _Dash you!_ still preserved in many counties, and in Scotland. V. Jam.

This is undoubtedly the vocative case of the Lat. _Deus_, used as an interjection, 1312, 1650, 1930, 2096, 2114. “Its use was the same in French as in English. Thus in King Horn: Euuers Deu en sun quer a fait grant clamur, Ohi, _Deus!_ fait il, ki es uerrai creatur, Par ki deuise, &c. _Harl._ MS. 527, f. 66 b. c. 2. It was probably introduced into the English language by the Normans, and its pronunciation remained the same as in the French. And gradde ‘as armes,’ for _Douce_ Mahons! --_K. Alisaunder_, 3674.
