Note 658 — SCENE II.
Reading edition
Sanguine-cheeked! dost think their faces have been at cutler’s?] So Beaumont and Fletcher:
“Piso. ————————O’ my life, he looks
Of a more rusty, swarth complexion
Than an old armory doublet.
Lod. I would send
His face to th’ cutler’s then, and have it sanguin’d.”
Captain, act ii. sc. 2.
“Sanguine. The bloud-stone wherewith cutlers do sanguine their hilts.”—Cotgrave’s Dict.
