> Anyone familiar with this phrase or its usage history?
Ah well, this is a slight variation on a few usages I know. Roll is of course a very useful verb. Certain funds can be 'rolled over' for example. Huggy's usage seems to indicate that if something is 'turned over' or 'rolled' then the situation is forced or driven forward. This use of 'to roll' as a transitive verb could also refer (figuratively) to flattening a certain something out though (like rolling dough). Either way it makes plenty of sense to me;-)
...and twice ten tempestuous nights I rolled.
