Examples

“Coordinate term: scythe”
“Lou's not Times foole, though roſie lips and cheeks VVithin his bending ſickles compaſſe come, Loue alters not with his breefe houres and vveekes, But beares it out euen to the edge of doome: If this be error and vpon me proued, I neuer vvrit, nor no man euer loued.”
“Oft did the harveſt to their ſickle yield, Their furrow oft the ſtubborn glebe has broke; How jocund did they drive their team afield! How bow’d the woods beneath their ſturdy ſtroke!”
“Then, ere the silver sickle of that month Became her golden shield, I stole from court With Cyril and with Florian, unperceived.”
