Usage examples of "besit".
Me ill besits, that in der-doing armes,And honours suit my vowed dayes do spend,Vnto thy bounteous baytes, and pleasing charmes,With which weake men thou witchest, to attend:Regard of worldly mucke doth fowly blend,And low abase the high heroicke spright,That ioyes for crownes and kingdomes to contend.
