 To heaven their prayers
 Flew up, nor missed the way, by envious winds
 Blown vagabond or frustrate.   --Milton.

 Vag·a·bond, n. One who wanders from place to place, having no fixed dwelling, or not abiding in it, and usually without the means of honest livelihood; a vagrant; a tramp; hence, a worthless person; a rascal.
    A fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be.   --Gen. iv. 12.
 Note: ☞ In English and American law, vagabond is used in bad sense, denoting one who is without a home; a strolling, idle, worthless person. Vagabonds are described in old English statutes as “such as wake on the night and sleep on the day, and haunt customable taverns and alehouses, and routs about; and no man wot from whence they came, nor whither they go.” In American law, the term vagrant is employed in the same sense. Cf Rogue, n., 1.


 Vag·a·bond, v. i. To play the vagabond; to wander like a vagabond; to stroll.
 On every part my vagabonding sight
 Did cast, and drown mine eyes in sweet delight.   --Drummond.
