     His head's yellow, / Hard-haired, and curled, thick-twined like ivy tods, / Not to undo with thunder.

2. An old English measure of weight, usually of wool, containing two stone or 28 pounds (13 kg).
   • 1843, The Penny Cyclopaedia of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, Volume 27, p. 202:

     Seven pounds make a clove, 2 cloves a stone, 2 stone a tod, 6 1/2 tods a wey, 2 weys a sack, 12 sacks a last. [...] It is to be observed here that a sack is 13 tods, and a tod 28 pounds, so that the sack is 364 pounds.
