Adjective CEFR B1

Definitions

Sung of; sung about; glorified or praised in song.

Examples

“Better to him seemed that victorious crown, / That midst the reverent silence of the town / He oft would set upon some singer's brow / Than was the conqueror's diadem, blest now / By lying priests, soon, bent and bloody, hung / Within the thorn by linnets well besung, / Who think but little of the corpse beneath, / Though ancient lands have trembled at his breath.”
“O fair midspring, besung so oft and oft, How can I praise thy loveliness enow?”
