I disarmed and wounded him. Tarleton's troop of four hundred men > were in sight. All was hurry and confusion, which I increased by repeatedly > hallooing, as loud as I could, "Come on, my brave boys; now's your time; we > will soon dispatch these few, and then attack the main body!" The wounded > man flew to the troop; the others were panic struck, and fled.

We hev her! A koo in a tether; ::At oor toon end, a yow and a lamb; :::A pot an’ a pan; ::May we get seaf in wiv oor harvest yam; :::Wiv a sap o’ good yal ::An’ some haupence ti spend. John Greaves Nall's Glossary of East Anglian Dialect, originally published in 1866, conjectured that the word 'horkey' referred to the hallooing that followed the feast and was connected with the Norse hauka, to shout, that is also found in the words ‘hawker’ and ‘huckster’.

"Of Heaven Considered as a Tomb" is a poem from Wallace Stevens's first book of poetry, Harmonium (1923). It was first published in 1921,Poetry, October 1921 so it is in the public domain.The Complete Public Domain Poems of Wallace Stevens, Volume 1.

In a letter to Chancellor of the University Lord Burghley, William Whitaker, master of St John's College (4 April 1588), explained that this step had been rendered necessary by Digby's arrears with the college steward. He added that Digby had preached voluntary poverty, a 'popish position,' at St Mary's; had attacked Calvinists as schismatics; was in the habit of blowing a horn and hallooing in the college during the daytime, and repeatedly spoke of the master to the scholars with the greatest disrespect. Burghley and John Whitgift ordered Digby's restitution; but Whitaker stood firm, and with the support of the Earl of Leicester obtained confirmation of the expulsion.

One of the men then started out after the animals kept at that > place, when the Indians told him that he could not go, and that they would > take care of the animals themselves, and commenced singing and hallooing at > a great rate. At that instant Lieutenant Weed, with twenty-five soldiers, > came up and attacked the Indians, who returned the fire, wounding three men > ... The Indians fled without driving off any of the stock. About the same > time, six or eight Indians went to where some men were mowing, near Deep > Creek, and ordered them away, but went off without molesting them further. > They came back next morning, when four soldiers, who had secreted themselves > in a wagon, fired on them, wounding two mortally.
