STRAWBERRY

GLOUCESTER

My Lord of Ely, when I was last in Holborn,

I saw good STRAWBERRIES

in your garden there;

I do beseech you send for some of them.

ELY

Marry, and will, my Lord,

with all my heart. . . .

Where is my lord Protector? I have sent

For these STRAWBERRIES.

—Richard III [Act III, sc. 4]

IAGO

Have you not sometimes seen a handkerchief

Spotted with STRAWBERRIES

in your wife’s hand?

—Othello [Act III, sc. 3]

BISHOP OF ELY

The STRAWBERRY grows

underneath the nettle,

And wholesome berries thrive and ripen best

Neighbour’d by fruit of baser quality;

—Henry V [Act I, sc. 1]
