To hs Editor ofthe State Journal:
The above title, of recent editorial in
the JOURNAL, reminded me of how often
l have seen inquiries as to the origin of the
phrase. The earliest use of it have seen,
is in Murtagh's collection of ancient Eng
lish and Scottish ballads, published in
1754. In it verse runs thus:
"Tush tush, my lassie such thoughts resigne
Comparisons are cruell,
Fine pictures suit in frames fine,
Concistencie IS q jewel"
