GOOSEBERRY

FALSTAFF

All of the other gifts appertinent to man,

as the malice of this age shapes them,

are not worth a GOOSEBERRY.

—Henry IV, Pt. 2 [Act I, sc. 2]

MACBETH

The devil damn thee black,

thou cream-faced loon!

Where got’st thou that GOOSE look?

—Macbeth [Act V, sc. 3]

BIRON

This is the liver-vein, which makes flesh a deity,

a GREEN GOOSE a goddess:

pure, pure idolatry.

—Love’s Labour’s Lost [Act IV, sc. 3]
