Churlish
My master is of churlish disposition,
And little recks to find the way to heaven
By doing deeds of hospitality.
Shakespeare.—As You Like It, Act II. Scene 4. (Corin to Rosalind.)
I tell thee, churlish priest,
A minist’ring angel shall my sister be,
When thou liest howling.
Shakespeare.—Hamlet, Act V. Scene 1. (Laertes to the Priest who refused Ophelia Christian burial.)
