Cock, Here must I wait, to give my Lady notice when my Lord approaches;- The fine Gentleman that is alone with her, gave me these two fine Pieces of Gold, and bad me buy a Sword to fight for the King withal; and I'm resolv'd to lay it all out in a Sword, not a penny in nickers, and fight for the Heroicks as long as I have a Limb, if they be all such fine Men as this within.

Aphra Behn
The colt nickers when he sees her, 'n' she comes 'n' takes the lead strap from me.
"Blister Jones"
John Taintor Foote
A bubble of nickers, or the soft munching of feeding horses, fell upon her ears.
