No, but that’s a good answer!

Alternative clue:

An audible punch, a right-facing choice had the befuddled group stink with an uneasy little biter.

The original clue is:

How you go, o changeable nymph! From the southern settlement thou pursuest an old peace but fell in with a cop, look out, America!

A clue to one part of this:

Old peace could seem such a gentle way of going down the stream?

This helps, (I say that like I have hope 😂😂😂😂). Thank you. I’ve already gone through two pieces of A4 scrap paper, working out meanings, words, etc.... *sigh* 😄

Also, and FYI.... an interesting bit of trivia, there are five thousand, seven hundred and fifty seven 15 letter words in the English language 😭.

I’m going onto night duty tonight, for a week, so I’ll have a bit more time (I hope) to work on these clues.

How’s everyone else plodding along with it? 💋

Plodding - LOL - I'm up that stream without a paddle.

I'm going to have a go, but I'm far from confident LOL.

Deuteranomalous?

countessalmirena · ‎07-06-2021

not_for_sale, you were right...

... to be far from confident.

It's not deuteranomalous.

K1ooo is absolutely on the ball with the filled-in letters so far.

Will it help if I say that it is a word used in entomology rather than ophthalmology?
