Usage notes
- This word has been translated variously by different authors.
1833, Rowland Smith, transl., The Ecclesiazusae, or Female Parliament, Oxford: J.H. Parker:Limpets, oysters, salt fish,
And a skate too a dish,
Lampreys, with the remains
Of sharp sauce and birds' brains,
With honey so luscious,
Plump blackbirds and thrushes,
Cocks' combs and ring doves,
Which each epicure loves,
Also wood-pigeons blue,
With juicy snipes too,
And to close all, O rare!
The wings of jugged hare
