Vagabond \Vag"a*bond\, v. i.
   To play the vagabond; to wander like a vagabond; to stroll.

         On every part my vagabonding sight Did cast, and drown
         mine eyes in sweet delight.              --Drummond.

Vagabond \Vag"a*bond\, a. [F., fr. L. vagabundus, from vagari to
   stroll about, from vagus strolling. See {Vague}.]
   1. Moving from place to place without a settled habitation;
      wandering. ``Vagabond exile.'' --Shak.

   2. Floating about without any certain direction; driven to
      and fro.

            To heaven their prayers Flew up, nor missed the way,
            by envious winds Blown vagabond or frustrate.
                                                  --Milton.

   3. Being a vagabond; strolling and idle or vicious.

Vagabond \Vag"a*bond\, n.
   One who wanders from place to place, having no fixed
   dwelling, or not abiding in it, and usually without the means
   of honest livelihood; a vagrant; a tramp; hence, a worthless
   person; a rascal.

         A fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be. --Gen. iv. 12.

   Note: In English and American law, vagabond is used in bad
         sense, denoting one who is without a home; a strolling,
         idle, worthless person. Vagabonds are described in old
         English statutes as ``such as wake on the night and
         sleep on the day, and haunt customable taverns and
         alehouses, and routs about; and no man wot from whence
         they came, nor whither they go.'' In American law, the
         term vagrant is employed in the same sense. Cf {Rogue},
         n., 1. --Burrill. --Bouvier.
