1. Sithenoun

   The instrument of mowing; a crooked blade joined at right angles to a long pole.

   Etymology: siðe , Saxon.

   Let fame, that all hunt after in their lives,
   Live registred upon our brazen tombs;
   And then grace us in the disgrace of death:
   When, spight of cormorant-devouring time,
   Th’ endeavour of this present breath may buy
   That honour which shall ’bate his scythe’s keen edge;
   And make us heirs of all eternity. William Shakespeare.

   Time is commonly drawn upon tombs, in gardens, and other places, an old man, bald, winged with a sithe, and an hourglass. Henry Peacham, on Drawing.

   There rude impetuous rage does storm and fret;
   And there, as master of this murd’ring brood,
   Swinging a huge scithe, stands impartial death,
   With endless business almost out of breath. Richard Crashaw.

   The milk-maid singeth blithe,
   And the mower whets his scithe. John Milton.

   The brazen trumpets kindle rage no more;
   But useless lances into sythes shall bend,
   And the broad faulchion in a plough-share end. Alexander Pope.

   Grav’d o’er their seats the form of time was found,
   His scythe revers’d, and both his pinions bound. Alexander Pope.

   But, Stella, say, what evil tongue
   Reports you are no longer young?
   That time sits with his sythe to mow
   Where erst sat Cupid with his bow. Jonathan Swift.

   Echo no more returns the chearful sound
   Of sharpening scythe. James Thomson, Summer.
