[Ads-l] myself, corrected, on George Herbert

[Stephen Goranson]

In the thread "Modern Proverb: A good loser is no good" appeared an "Outlandish Proverb" collected by George Herbert.
OCLC/WorldCat gave two different sets of dates for George Herbert. I guessed they were two different people.
But I was mistaken, and Charlie knew better.
Besides being misled by reported dates, I thought that this text ("Shew me a lyer, and ile show thee a theefe") did not sound like texts I'd read by Herbert. But he just collected it rather than composed it, and I paid insufficient attention to that difference, so my error.
