Literature | Calf-skin Fools and jesters used to wear a calf-skin coat buttoned down the back. In allusion to this custom, Faulconbridge says insolently to the Archduke of Austria, who had acted most basely to Richard Coeur-de-Lion- "Thou wear a lion's hide! Doff it, for shame, And hang a calf-skin on those recreant limbs." Shakespeare: King John, iii. 1. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
