Hedge-hognoun
Etymology: hedge and hog.
Like hedge-hogs, which
Lie tumbling in my bare-foot way, and mount
Their pricks at my foot-fall. William Shakespeare, Tempest.Few have belief to swallow, or hope enough to experience, the collyrium of Albertus; that is, to make one see in the dark: yet thus much, according unto his receipt, will the right eye of an hedge-hog, boiled in oil, and preserved in a brazen vessel, effect. Thomas Browne, Vulgar Errours, b. i.
The hedge-hog hath his backside and flanks thick set with strong and sharp prickles; and besides, by the help of a muscle, can contract himself into a globular figure, and so withdraw his whole under part, head, belly and legs, within his thicket of prickles. John Ray, on the Creation.
Did’st thou not kill this king?
———— I grant ye.
———— Do’st grant me, hedge-hog? William Shakespeare, Richard III.
