Word of the Day: BROW-SICK

ETYMOLOGY
from brow + sick

EXAMPLE
“… Besides though, I confess, Parnassus hardly,
Yet Helicon this Summer-time is dry:
Our wits were at an ebbe or very low,
And, to say troth, I think they cannot flow.
But yet a gracious influence from you
May alter Nature in our  Brow–sick crew.
Have patience then, we pray, and sit a while;
And, if a laugh be too much, lend a smile. …”

From: The Last Remains of Sr John Suckling
A Prologue of the Author’s to a Masque at Witten, 1659
