TOOTHACHE.—My curse upon the venom’d stang,
That shoots my tortured gums alang;
And through my
lugs gies mony a twang,
Wi’ gnawing vengeance.
Burns.—Address to the Toothache, Verse 1.
TOOTHACHE.—There was never yet philosopher
That could endure the toothache patiently.
Shakespeare.—Much Ado About Nothing Act V. Scene 1. (Leonato to Antonio.)
