I discovered this word today. It means ''to whine or whimper''.

William S:

"to speak puling, like a beggar at Hallowmas."
-Two Gentlemen of Verona

"He, like a puling cuckold, would drink up,
the lees and dregs of a flat tamed piece;"
-Troilus and Cressida

"And then to have a wretched puling fool,
A whining mammet, in her fortune's tender,"
-Romeo and Juliet

"Leave this faint puling and lament as I do,
In anger, Juno-like. Come, come, come."
-Coriolanus

It always amuses me somewhat when I see how frequent 'like' is in Shakespeare, most modern authors avoid it because of its abject triteness in modern English speech.
