Assumed by G. Steevens (ed. of Shakspere, 1773, IX. 257) in Cymb., IV. ii. 229, where the 1st Folio has ‘the Raddocke would … bring thee all this, Yea, and furr’d Mosse besides. When Flowres are none To winter-ground thy Coarse —— Gui. Prythee haue done,’ and explained by him as meaning: ‘To protect (a plant) from the inclemency of the winter-season, by straw, dung, &c. laid over it.’ (Hence in Dicts. from Worcester, 1860, onwards.)
