Meanings
-
(archaic, rare) A net to catch birds.
She is no Priapus to drive the birds away; but as if she was a bramble-net, their notes are caught in her ears, even if their feet are not seized by her fingers as they winnow the air, wheel, dive, and dally about her.
1845, Sylvester Judd, Margaret: a Tale of Real and Ideal:
