Literature

Bucklersbury (London) was at one time the noted street for druggists and herbalists; hence Falstaff says-
"I cannot cog, and say thou art this and that, like a many of these lisping hawthorn buds, that come like women in men's apparel, and smell like Bucklersbury in simple time."- Shakespeare: Merry Wives of Windsor, iii. 3. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
