That played on her ripe lip, seemed not to know
What guests were in her eyes: which parted thence
As pearls from diamonds dropped.”
EMERALD
Emerald is mentioned but once—in Act 5, Scene 5, of “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” when Mistress Quickly says:
“And ‘Honi soit qui mal y pense,’ write
In emerald tufts, flowers purple, blue and white:
Like sapphire, pearl and rich embroidery
Buckled below fair knighthood’s bending knee.”
