Literature | Flap-dragons Small combustible bodies blazing at one end and floating in a glass of liquor. The liquor was stirred about with a candle-end to promote combustion. A skilful toper would swallow them blazing, as we swallow the blazing raisins of snap-dragons. "He drinks off candles' ends for flap-dragons." - Shakespeare: 2 Henry IV., ii. 4.
