Theme: Shakespearian words

[emball, according to the glossary, is to take up the royal orb, a symbol of kingly authority. However, it’s apparently an obsolete word and I couldn’t find a Shakespearean passage that contains it.]


embattle


Glossary meaning:
[also spelled embattail] prepare for battle.


Google meanings:
[several meanings, but essentially the same. Embattled, a word that is probably the most familiar in this group of related words, means, of course, ‘involved in an argument, contest, or struggle.’]

If we be not reliev'd within this hour,
We must return to th' court of guard. The night
Is shiny, and they say we shall embattle
By th' second hour i' th' morn.



Modern use:
Embattled Augustine, having missed Elysium, had to embattle further, when he saw that Dizzle had discovered what he had done to one of her threads.

If you could stand some more silliness, Augustine wondered what embattail had to do with the tails of bats. Pin the tail on a bat?
