WITHER,

1. To fade to lose its native freshness to become sapless to dry.

It shall wither in all the leaves of her spring. Ezekiel 17 .

2. To waste to pine away as animal bodies as a withered hand. Matthew 12 .
3. To lose or want animal moisture.

Now warm in love, now withring in the grave.

WITHER,

1. To cause to fade and become dry as, the sun withereth the grass. James 1 .
2. To cause to shrink, wrinkle and decay, for want of animal moisture.

Age cannot wither her.
