RECK, L. rego. See Rack and Reckon.

To care to mind to rate at much as we say, to reckon much of followed by of. Obs.

Thou's but a lazy loorde, and recks much of thy swinke.

I reck as little what betideth me, as much I wish all good befortune you.

Of night or loneliness it recks me not.

RECK, To heed to regard to care for.

This son of mine not recking danger.

This verb is obsolete unless in poetry. We observe the primary sense and application in the phrase, "it recks me not," that is, it does not strain or distress me it does not rack my mind. To reck danger is a derivative form of expression, and a deviation from the proper sense of the verb.
