(_b_) In the parish church of Bawdrip is a monument to Edward Lovell, his wife Eleanor (_née_ Bradford), and their two daughters Maria and Eleanor. The inscription touching the latter is:—“Eleanora . . . obiit Jun. 14, 1681. Hanc, subito et immaturo (ipsos pene inter hymenæos) fato correptam, mœstissimus luxit maritus, et in gratam piamq. parentum sororis et dilectissimæ conjugis memoriam, monumentum hoc erigi voluit.” Tradition connects this sudden death—“ipsos pene inter hymenæos”—with the story of the bride playing at “Hide and Seek.” It is curious that, in Haynes Bayly’s song, the bridegroom’s name should be Lovell. There is no mention on the monument of the name of the bereaved husband. The father, Edward Lovell, was fourteen years rector of Bawdrip and fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge, and died in 1675, and so could not have been present at the wedding, as represented in the song. He came from Batcombe, near Castle-Cary; at which latter place the Lovells were seated in very early days.—_Notes and Queries_, 4th Ser., ix. 477. Cope (_Hampshire Glossary_) calls the game “I spy I.” Lowsley (_Berkshire Glossary_) says, “In playing this game, the seeker has to call out ‘I spy!’ to the one he finds before he may start for home.” It is called “Hy Spy” in Patterson’s _Antrim and Down Glossary_; Evans’ _Leicestershire Glossary_, “Hide and Wink;” Barnes’ _Dorset Glossary_, “Hidy Buck.” In Pegge’s _Alphabet of Kenticisms_ the game is given as “Hide and Fox.” _Cf._ “Hide Fox, and all after,” _i.e._, let the fox hide and the others go to seek him; Hamlet, iv. 2, 32. In Stead’s _Holderness Glossary_, “Hed-o.” In the North Riding it is “Lam-pie-sote-it,” also called “Felto” in Robinson’s _Whitby Glossary_. He also mentions that the hidden child cries “How-ly” to the finder. Apparently the same as the south country “Whoop,” a signal to the finder to begin the search. Addy (_Sheffield Glossary_) says this game is called “Felt and Laite.” Holland (_Cheshire Glossary_) speaks of it as “I Spy.” See “Davie Drap.” Hide and Seek (2) [Music] —London. I.
