This clue might be a double definition.

'delicately hold' is the first definition.
'cradle' can be an answer for 'hold' (cradling is a kind of holding). I am unsure of the 'delicately' bit.

'bed' is the second definition.
(I have seen 'early bed' mean 'cradle' so perhaps 'bed' could also mean 'cradle')

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cradle that I've seen before include "Infant's bed" , "Baby's cot" , "'When the bough breaks, the . . . . . . will fall'" , "Small bed on rockers" , "early bed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
