933 William Shakespeare 1564-1616 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:933
AUTHOR:William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
QUOTATION:Fresh as a bridegroom; and his chin new reap’d
Showed like a stubble-land at harvest-home;
He was perfumed like a milliner,
And ’twixt his finger and his thumb he held
A pouncet-box, which ever and anon
He gave his nose and took ’t away again.
