A not uncommon name in the countryside, suggesting the reverse was all too often the case. A C17 ballad on the subject by T. Vere begins thus: A crotchet comes into my mind Concerning a proverb of old, Plain dealing's a jewel most rare, And more precious than silver or gold: And therefore with patience give ear, And listen to what here is penned, These verses were written on purpose The honest man's cause to defend. For this I will make it appear, And prove by experience I can, 'Tis the excellen'st thing in the world To be a plain-dealing man.
