1. BUXOMadjective

   Etymology: bucsum, Sax. from bugan, to bend. It originally signified obedient, as John de Trevisa, a clergyman, tells his patron, that he is obedient and buxom to all his commands. In an old form of marriage used before the Reformation, the bride promised to be obedient and buxom in bed and at board; from which expression, not well understood, its present meaning seems to be derived.

   1. Obedient; obsequious.

   He did tread down, and disgrace all the English, and set up and countenance the Irish; thinking thereby to make them more tractable and buxom to his government. Edmund Spenser, Ireland.

   He, with broad sails,
   Winnow’d the buxom air. John Milton.

   2. Gay; lively; brisk.

   I’m born
   Again a fresh child of the buxom morn,
   Heir of the sun’s first beams. Richard Crashaw.

   Zephyr, with Aurora playing,
   As he met her once a maying,
   Fill’d her with thee, a daughter fair,
   So buxom, blithe, and debonnair. John Milton.

   Sturdy swains,
   In clean array, for rustick dance prepare,
   Mixt with the buxom damsels, hand in hand,
   They frisk and bound. Philips.

   3. Wanton; jolly.

   Almighty Jove descends, and pours
   Into his buxom bride his fruitful show’rs. John Dryden, Virgil.

   She feign’d the rites of Bacchus! cry’d aloud,
   And to the buxom god the virgin vow’d. John Dryden, Æneid.
