Adjective

bloudless (comparative more bloudless, superlative most bloudless)

  1. Obsolete form of bloodless.

      But when his foe lyes prostrate on the plain,
      He sheaths his paws, uncurls his angry mane;
      And, pleas'd with bloudless honours of the day,
      Walks over, and disdains th' inglorious Prey.
