prater - What does it mean?

Definition of 'prater'

English

Noun

(en-noun)
  • A person who prates; a chatterer.
  • * (rfdate), Shakespeare, Henry V , act 5, scene 2:
  • Dear Kate, take a fellow of plain and uncoined constancy; for he perforce must do thee right, because he hath not the gift to woo in other places: ... a speaker is but a prater ; a rhyme is but a ballad. A good leg will fall; a straight back will stoop; a black beard will turn white; a curled pate will grow bald; a fair face will wither; a full eye will wax hollow: but a good heart, Kate, is the sun and the moon.
