Definition

Bayes in the Rehearsal, i. — The Journal of Sir Walter Scott: From the Original Manuscript at Abbotsford, Walter Scott
"D----n me," said Bunce, who easily conjectured what was passing in the mind of his prisoner--"that pause would have told well on the stage--it would have brought down pit, box, and gallery, egad, as Bayes has it." — The Pirate: Andrew Lang Edition, Walter Scott
Then might the field be this moment well strewed with human carcasses, and the next, the dead men, or infinitely the greatest part of them, might get up, like Mr Bayes's troops, and march off either at the sound of a drum or fiddle, as should be previously agreed on. — History of Tom Jones, a Foundling, Henry Fielding
