Friggle

Friggle: not in my Shorter OED, but I believe in Merriam-Webster (which I
haven't got).

Can anyone enlighten me to the meaning...

" Imagine! Friggling away with a tax-collector's daughter. And him away!"

"And faith! Who wouldst thou have me friggle with?'

Farrar, Straus and Young, 1951, 57
