About the obsolete sense of hare.

Samuel Johnson writes "To HARE. v. n. [harier, French.] To fright; to hurry with terrour. To hare and rate them, is not to teach but vex them. Locke. " Is it the same definition presented under the obsolete sense? Can I add this as suitable quote? L.T.G (talk) 11:32, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

Yes, please. (If possible, cite the original Locke text and not the other dictionary.) Equinox ◑ 11:42, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
