Hi'ren, n.

n. A strumpet. [Obs.] Hiren is a corruption of the name Irene, and was probably first employed by G. Peele, in his play entitled "The Turkish Mahomet and Hiren the fair Greek." It was not unfrequently used by subsequent dramatists, especially in the phrase, "Have we not hiren here?" which often appears, and occurs twice in Shakespeare, having apparently acquired a proverbial significance.
