GINGER

SHEPHERD’S SON/CLOWN

Mace, Dates? None, that’s out of my note;

Nutmegs, seven—a race or two of GINGER,

but that I may beg.

—Winter’s Tale [Act IV, sc. 3]

FESTE/CLOWN

Yes, by St. Anne, and GINGER

shall be hot i’ the mouth too.

——Twelfth Night [Act II, sc. 3]

POMPEY

First, here’s Young Master Rash, he’s in for a

commodity of brown paper and old GINGER,

nine score and seventeen pounds,

of which he made five marks ready money;

marry, then, GINGER was not much

in request, for the old women were all dead.

—Measure for Measure [Act IV, sc. 3]

SECOND CARRIER

I have a gammon of bacon and two razes

of GINGER to be delivered

as far as Charing Cross.

—Henry IV, Pt. 1 [Act II, sc. 1]

SALANIO

I would she were as lying a gossip in that

as ever knapped GINGER.

—Merchant of Venice [Act III, sc. 1]

ORLEANS

He’s of the colour of the nutmeg.

DAUPHIN

And of the heat of the GINGER.

—Henry V [Act III, sc. 7]
