What by me thou hast lost, thou least shalt miss.
Milton.
To miss stays. (Naut.) See under Stay.
Miss (?), v. i. 1. To fail to hit; to fly wide; to deviate from the
true direction.
Men observe when things hit, and not when they miss.
Bacon.
Flying bullets now, To execute his rage, appear too slow; They
miss, or sweep but common souls away.
Waller.
