13. 'No hedger brished nor scythesman swung'. (25)
and
'The morning hedger with his brishing-hook'. (62)
These two lines explain the word brish. O.E.D. gives brish as dialectal of brush, and so E.D.D. has the verb to brush as dialect for trimming a tree or hedge. Brush is a difficult homophone, and it would be useful to have one of its derivative meanings separated off as brish.
14. 'A hizzing dragonfly that daps
Above his mudded pond'. (28)
Hizzing is an old word now neglected. Shakespeare has
'To have a thousand with red burning spits
Come hizzing in upon 'em'.—Lear, III. vi. 17.
and there are other quotations in O.E.D.
15. Dap is used again, 'the dapping moth'. (45.) This word is well known to fishermen and fowlers, meaning 'to dip lightly and suddenly into water' but is uncommon in literature.
16. 'The glinzy ice grows thicker through'. (28)
