throng (n.)

throng (v.)

A thousand fantasies

Begin to throng into my memory,

Of calling shapes, and beck'ning shadows dire,

And airy tongues that syllable men's names

On sands and shores and desert wildernesses.

John Milton (1608-1674): Comus. Line 205.

Not to know me argues yourselves unknown,

The lowest of your throng.

John Milton (1608-1674): Paradise Lost. Book iv. Line 830.
