Below, lxiv. 297, I have used it in its more common meaning of atoning for, Faerie Queene, iv. 1, 53.
Yet thou, false Squire, his fault shalt deare aby,
And with thy punishment his penance shalt supply.
Midsummer Night's Dream, iii. 2.
Lest to thy peril thou aby it dear.
24 Ululation.
There sighs, complaints, and ululations loud
Resounded through the air without a star.
Longfellow's Dante Inf. iii. 22.
41 When he smote the shadowy twilight with his healthy team sublime.
Ere yet they blind the stars, and the wild team
Which love thee, yearning for thy yoke, arise,
And shake the darkness from their loosen'd manes,
And beat the twilight into flakes of fire.
Tennyson, Tithonus.
