The sketch-book of Geoffrey Crayon, gent[pseud.] together with Abbotsford and other selections from the writings of Washington Irving .. . Wild Huntsman, who wasoriginally no other than Wuotan. The description of Ichabods ride suggests the ride of TarnOShanter when his gray Meg skelpit on through dub andmire, to gain the keystone of the brig, for a running stream 288 STUDY OF THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW 289 they dare not cross. The Scotsman crooned an auld Scotssonnet; the schoolmaster whistled, or broke into a psalm stone and ford, or whin, or cairn along poor Tams pathhad its own lurking ghaist or bogie, and his beast stood rightsair astonished, till by hand and heel admonished, she venturedforward.

In the end, Tam bestrode the middleof the stream in the very moment of greatest peril and so wassafe; but alas, for Ichabod! the headless demon on his trailknew nothing of the old prohibition, and so misfortune befellhim.
