TEN, a. L. decem.

1. Twice five nine and one.

With twice ten sail I cross'd the Phrygian sea.

2. It is a kind of proverbial number.

There's a proud modesty in merit,

Averse to begging, and resolv'd to pay

Ten times the gift it asks.

The meaning in this use is, a great deal more, indefinitely.
