vb. (en-third-person singular of: phrensy)

Usage examples of "phrensies".

Tell me, why this strong young colt, foaled in some peaceful valley of Vermont, far removed from all beasts of prey-- why is it that upon the sunniest day, if you but shake a fresh buffalo robe behind him, so that he cannot even see it, but only smells its wild animal muskiness--why will he start, snort, and with bursting eyes paw the ground in phrensies of affright?
