dote

It is long since the sick world began to dote and talk idly: would she had but doted still!

For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

Some were dirty and slovenly: the landladies of these called the children "little dears," and said "they doted on children."

She knew Polly: there was no middle ground between her likes and dislikes; she doted or she hated.

The husband did not like his wife, although she doted on him; and the English hated Philip still more than he hated them.
