Literature | Bardolph One of Falstaff's inferior officers. Falstaff calls him "the knight of the burning lamp," because his nose was so red, and his face so "full of meteors." He is a low-bred, drunken swaggerer, without principle, and poor as a church mouse. (Merry Wives; Henry IV , i., ii.) "We must have better assurance for Sir John than Bardolf's. We like not the security." - Lord Macaulay. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
