8. 'For Sussex cries from primrose lags and breaks'. (22)
E.D.D., among many meanings of lag, explains this as a Sussex and Somerset term for 'a long marshy meadow usually by the side of a stream'. Since the word seems as if it might be used for anything somewhere, we cannot question its title to these meadows, but we doubt its power to retain possession, except in some favoured locality.
9. 'And chancing lights on willowy waterbreaks'. (22)
We have to guess what a waterbreak is, having found no other example of the word.
10. 'Of hobby-horses with their starting eyes'. (23)
Hobby-horse as a local or rustic name for dragon-fly can have no right to general acceptance.
11. 'Stolchy ploughlands hid in grief.' (24)
Stolchy is so good a word that it does not need a dictionary. Wright gives only the verb stolch 'to tread down, trample, to walk in the dirt'. The adjective is therefore primarily applicable to wet land that has become sodden and miry by being poached by cattle, and then to any ground in a similar condition. Since poach is a somewhat confused homophone, its adjective poachy has no chance against stolchy.
12. 'I whirry through the dark'. (24)
Whirry is another word that explains itself, and perhaps the more readily for its confusion (in this sense) with worry, see E.D.D. where it is given as adjective and verb, the latter used by Scott in 'Midlothian'. 'Her and the gude-man will be whirrying through the blue lift on a broom-shank.' In the Century Dictionary, with its pronunciation hwér'i, it is described as dialectal form of whirr or of hurry, to fly rapidly with noise, also transitive to hurry.
