Shakespeare Words

Shakespearean, not stirred.

If Shakespeare wrote it, we've Shmooped it.

Blushing

Popularized in Henry VI Part 3

O Clifford, but bethink thee once again,
And in thy thought o'er-run my former time;
And, if though canst for blushing, view this face,
And bite thy tongue, that slanders him with cowardice


Latin had it. Old English had it. Shakespeare changed the spelling and made it popular.

Yeah, we know—what's new?
