  1. Revenge; retaliation for an injury. [Rare.] Thinges of honour are so delicate that the same day that any confesseth to haue receiued an iniurie, from that day he bindeth himselfe to take reuengement. Guevara, Letters (tr. by Hellowes, 1577), p. 218. Murther … hath more shapes than Proteus, and will shift himselfe, vppon any occasion of reuengement, into a man's dish, his drinke, his apparell, his rings, his stirhops, his nosgay. Nashe, Pierce Penilesse, p. 34.
