A royal park in “which no man commons”; rich pasture-land; as Bilhagh (Billa-haugh), Beskwood- or Bestwood-hay, Lindeby-hay, Welley-hay or Wel-hay. These five hays were “special reserves” of game for royalty alone.
A bottle of hay. (See Bottle.)
Between hay and grass. Too late for one and too soon for the other.
Neither hay nor grass. That hobby-de-hoy state when a youth is neither boy nor man.
Make hay while the sun shines.
Strike while the iron is hot.
Take time by the forelock.
One to-day is worth two to-morrows. (Franklin.)
