Beau: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

This gallant pins the wenches on his sleeve; Had he been Adam he had tempted Eve: He can carve too, and lisp: Why this is he, That kiss'd away his hand in courtesy; This is the ape of form, monsieur the nice, That when he plays at tables, chides the dice In honourable terms.— L. L. v.:.

Beaux, Scented

Like many of these lisping hawthorn buds, that come women in like women in men's apparel, and smell like Bucklersbury men's apparel, and smell like Bucklersbury in simple-time.— M. W. iii. 3.
