[root]134. See Wake, v. i. ]
[1913 Webster]
1. The act of watching; forbearance of sleep; vigil; wakeful,

observation; guard; preservative or preventive vigilance;
formerly, a watching or guarding by night.
[1913 Webster]
Shepherds keeping watch by night. --Milton.
[1913 Webster]
All the long night their mournful watch they keep.
--Addison.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Watch was formerly distinguished from ward, the former
signifying a watching or guarding by night, and the
latter a watching, guarding, or protecting by day
Hence, they were not unfrequently used together,
especially in the phrase to keep watch and ward, to
denote continuous and uninterrupted vigilance or
protection, or both watching and guarding. This
distinction is now rarely recognized, watch being used
to signify a watching or guarding both by night and by
day, and ward, which is now rarely used, having simply
the meaning of guard, or protection, without reference
to time.
[1913 Webster]
Still, when she slept, he kept both watch and
ward. --Spenser.
[1913 Webster]
Ward, guard, or custodia, is chiefly applied to

[1913 Webster]
Note: Watch was formerly distinguished from ward, the former
signifying a watching or guarding by night, and the
latter a watching, guarding, or protecting by day
Hence, they were not unfrequently used together,
especially in the phrase to keep watch and ward, to
denote continuous and uninterrupted vigilance or
protection, or both watching and guarding. This
distinction is now rarely recognized, watch being used
to signify a watching or guarding both by night and by
day, and ward, which is now rarely used, having simply
the meaning of guard, or protection, without reference
to time.
[1913 Webster]

ward. --Spenser.
