vext
Verb
(archaic) simple past tense of vex

-------------------------------------------
...
"And Arthur, passing thence to battle, felt
Travail, and throes and agonies of the life,
Desiring to be joined with Guinevere;
And thinking as he rode, `Her father said
That there between the man and beast they die.
Shall I not lift her from this land of beasts
Up to my throne, and side by side with me?
What happiness to reign a lonely king,
Vext--O ye stars that shudder over me,
O earth that soundest hollow under me,
Vext with waste dreams? for saving I be joined
To her that is the fairest under heaven,
I seem as nothing in the mighty world,
And cannot will my will, nor work my work
Wholly, nor make myself in mine own realm
Victor and lord. But were I joined with her,
Then might we live together as one life,
And reigning with one will in everything
Have power on this dark land to lighten it,
And power on this dead world to make it live.'"
...
-- Tennyson

There were two writers in particular who invented vast quantities of cod-archaisms. One was The Boy Chatterton who died of it, and the other was Poet Laureate to the Queen because he helped her personify misery. I have always found most of the Idylls of the King unreadable - the only bit that works is Bedevere getting rid of Excalibur, where Tennyson forgets his stately pace and gets over-excited by the finally unavoidable storyline. Mind you, he was even worse when he abandoned archaism and wrote In Memoriam. On balance I prefer Tennyson comatose to Tennyson striving.

Tennyson should never be quoted as an authority on the English Language.

Omen.
