Grocott & Ward, comps. Grocott’s Familiar Quotations, 6th ed. 189-?.
Description
For her own person,
It beggar’d all description.
Shakespeare.—Antony and Cleopatra, Act II. Scene 2. (Enobarbus to Agrippa.)
I have described her, and sure my picture is not so bad as to require its name under it.
Fielding.—Love in several Masques, Act I. Scene 1; Colley Cibber, the Comical Lovers, Act I. Scene 1.
