The brave hero of a Sir Walter Scott ballad in Marmion (1808), who steals his love, the bride of a “dastard,” from a bridal feast, sweeps her up on his horse, and rides away with her: “So faithful in love, and so dauntless in war, / There never was a knight like the young Lochinvar!” Dastard, ulti- mately from Old Norse, means “a sneaking miserable coward.” |
