Mix with his waters fresh. .

Spenser. Faerie Queene, b. iii. c. 5.

HACK, v. HACK, n. HACKNEY, V. HACKNEY, n. akinus, akineus, akinea, haquenée. Wachter, from the Ger. Nake, hnake, equus, a horse, (a nag) transpositis literis; and nake, from the A. S. Hnagan, hinnire, to neigh. A nag, hack, or hackney, was, thus, hors hnægend, a neighing horse; a lively, active horse, distinguished for its frequent neighing. And as this kind of horse was most frequently kept for hire, the name became applied, consequentially, to

A hired horse, or horse let to hire; to any thing hired or let out to hire; and, hence, to a horse or any thing constantly in work or use; any thing constantly used. And the verb

To use a hackney; to convey or carry, or ride in a hackney; to let out to hire; to toil, or work, as a hack; to use or practise frequently, or constantly; to accustom.
