According to my searchable copy, the word "wag" appears twice in the
text of Hamlet, once in Act III, scene 4:
"What have I done, that thou dar'st wag thy tongue"
And once In Act V, Scene 1:
"Until my eyelids will no longer wag."
If there is a reference to either of these in /Aythra/, I have not yet
found it.
