Transcript
Appendix to Etym Dicty.
Song at end {1}. I suppose this is rather a miserable affair, & not necessarily grammatical. And a little tiny boy seems = even a little &c. If it is a mere expletive, we may still ask—how did it arise? And perhaps and = even is as good a guess as another. Or else we may consider it as short for and it were = an it were.
Yours sincerely
W. W. Skeat.
