delay Warburton interprets ‘delay’ here in the sense let slip, but Murray (N. E. D.) does not include such among the various meanings of this verb. Under 1. trans., ‘To put off to a later time; to defer, postpone,’ Murray quotes: 1489, Caxton Faytes of A., I, xxii, 68, ‘To delaye the batayle vnto another day’; 1586, B. Young, Guazzo's Civ. Conv., IV. 181b, ‘Delaie the sentence no longer.’—Ed. (For other examples of the omission of the auxiliary do before ‘not’ with certain verbs, see Abbott, § 305.)
