Samuel Johnson's Dictionary

  1. Horsemannoun

    Etymology: horse and man.

    A skilful horseman, and a huntsman bred. John Dryden, Æn.

    Encounters between horsemen on the one side, and foot on the other, are seldom with extremity of danger; because as horsemen can hardly break a battle on foot, so men on foot cannot possibly chase horsemen. John Hayward.

    In the early times of the Roman commonwealth, a horseman received yearly tria millia æris, and a foot-soldier one mille; that is, more than six-pence a day to a horseman, and two-pence a day to a foot-soldier. John Arbuthnot, on Coins.

    With descending show’rs of brimstone fir’d,
    The wild Barbarian in the storm expir’d;
    Wrapt in devouring flames the horseman rag’d,
    And spurr’d the steed in equal flames engag’d. Addison.

    A horseman ’s coat shall hide
    Thy taper shape, and comeliness of side. Matthew Prior.
