Manwood Treat. Lawes Forest (1615) iv. sig. fiiii The time of grace [1598 greace] of a Hart, Or Bucke, beginneth at Midsomer day, and lasteth till Holy Rood Day. 1801 J. Strutt Glig-gamena Angel-ðeod i. i. 17 The time of grace begins at Midsummer, and lasteth to Holyrood-day. 1903 Baily's Mag. Apr. 240/2 (note) Strutt..gives an entirely wrong meaning to this term [sc. ‘pride of grease’] by calling it..‘Time of Grace’. As he adds that it extended from Midsummer to Holyrood day.., the very season of the year when there was never a time of grace for deer, the mistake is a very obvious one. < as lemmas |
