Usage examples of "fenny".

Why Fenny waters afford the hottest and sweetest plants, as Calamus, Cyperus, and Crow-foot, and mudd cast out of ditches most naturally produceth Arsmart?

The rushes sharp, that on the borders grow, Bend their brown flow’rets to the stream below, Impure in all its course, in all its progress slow: Here a grave Flora scarcely deigns to bloom, Nor wears a rosy blush, nor sheds perfume: The few dull flowers that o’er the place are spread Partake the nature of their fenny bed.
