[In Baret's _Alvearie_ (1580) we find the meanings of the word
_couch_, "The knitting and couching of wordes in talke--Sermonis
compositio.--_Quintil._ To joine and couch--componere et
coagmentare verba.--_Cic._" In Cotgrave, "mettre par escrit" is
explained, to "couch in writing:" and in Phillips' _World of
Words_, couch is defined "to comprehend, or comprise." These are
somewhat analogous uses of the word.]
