enring

Enring, en-ring′, v.t. to encircle: to put a ring on.

It shocks thee that Italians should enring an infant Troy with flame, and Turnus set foot on his own ancestral soil—he, grandchild of Pilumnus, son of Venilia the goddess: how, that the dark brands of Troy assail the Latins? that Trojans subjugate and plunder fields not their own? how, that they choose their brides and tear plighted bosom from bosom? that their gestures plead for peace, and their ships are lined with arms?

The bournes of His wide way kept secret from all thought, Enring'd the outmost waste that evil power had wrought; His measure none can take, His strife we are not shown, Nor if He gathered then more sheaves than earth hath grown.

Does but its snail-like spiral hollow sing,     A lovely note soft swell'd with gentle breath,     Though thousand warriors threaten instant death,     And with advancing weapons round enring;     Then, as thou late hast seen, in restless dance     All, all must spin, and every sword and lance     Fall with th' exhausted warriors to the ground.

Or where the easeless pines enring The river-lullèd village Whose lads the lilac pillage?
