pleach

What caftans blue and scarlet, what turbans pleach’d of green; What waving of their crescents, and plumages between; What buskins and what stirrups, what rowels chased in gold, What handsome gentlemen, what buoyant hearts and bold!

Nectar ran In courteous fountains to all cups outreach'd; And plunder'd vines, teeming exhaustless, pleach'd New growth about each shell and pendent lyre; The which, in disentangling for their fire, Pull'd down fresh foliage and coverture For dainty toying.

The nether depth, the heights above,   Nor alleys pleach'd of Paradise,   Nor Herod's judgment-halls suffice: Man shall not hide himself from love.

Though they were reinforced more than once, the number never exceeded twelve hundred; and notwithstanding the enemy having, by battering down the gate of the farmyard, and setting fire to the straw in it, got possession of the outer works, in the evening attack, they could make no impression on the strong hold, the garden— "Whose close pleach'd walks and bowers have been The deadly marksman's lurking screen."

Eros,     Wouldst thou be window'd in great Rome and see     Thy master thus with pleach'd arms, bending down     His corrigible neck, his face subdu'd     To penetrative shame, whilst the wheel'd seat     Of fortunate Caesar, drawn before him, branded     His baseness that ensued?
