LAPWINGS [ Also see Animals Birds ] Changed to a lapwing by th' avenging god,   He made the barren waste his lone abode,     And oft on soaring pinions hover'd o'er       The lofty palace then his own no more.       - James Beattie, Vergil (pastoral 6) The false lapwynge, full of trecherye.       - Geoffrey Chaucer, The Parlement of Fowles          (l. 47) Amid thy desert-walks the lapwing flies,   And tires their echoes with unvaried cries.       - Oliver Goldsmith, The Deserted Village          (l. 44) Now begin;   For look where Beatrice, like a lapwing runs     Close by the ground, to hear our conference.       - William Shakespeare,         Much Ado About Nothing (Hero at III, i) Last Revised: 2008 April 9 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
