bilby commented on the word fatigate
"Now all's his:
When, by and by, the din of war 'gan pierce
His ready sense; then straight his doubled spirit
Re-quick'ned what in flesh was fatigate,
And to the battle came he; where he did
Run reeking o'er the lives of men, as if
'Twere a perpetual spoil..."
- William Shakespeare, 'The Tragedy of Coriolanus'.
