Shall we whose harts are litened With Rye, and cake and wine, Shall we to Cuff and Dinah Give nought but crust and Rine?
"Letters of Major Jack Downing, of the Downingville Militia"
Seba Smith
He is himself a king's son, his father Siegmund reigning in Xanten "nieden by dem Rine."
"Legends of the Rhine"
Wilhelm Ruland
For the two old aunts no longer came: Mamma, it was true, had not held them accountable for the upset which they had caused with their shrill, childish voices on that most unfortunate evening, when poor Constance had been so excited as it was; Mamma had forced herself always to remain nice to them; but gradually they had fallen into their dotage altogether and never went out now, living in their little villa with a nurse; they had become very badly-behaved and fought and quarrelled with each other; they slept in one bed and refused each other a fair share of the sheets; and once Aunt Rine pushed Aunt Tine on the stairs, so that she fell down and hurt her old ribs severely.
