Shakespeare Anagram: Antony and Cleopatra

Inspired by yesterday’s post.

From Antony and Cleopatra:

Does thou not see the baby at my breast,
That sucks the nurse asleep?

Shift around the letters, and it becomes:

Bosoms bury the snake’s unsheathed teeth, test Cleopatra’s beauty.

    And it gets more interesting!

    I assume you take your screen name from the character who is famously “pursued by a bear” in Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale.

    But before I clicked through to your site, I thought someone was having a bit of fun with me. Antigonus, as you may know, was also the name of one of Alexander’s other generals who, along with Ptolemy Soter, divvied up the Macedonian empire.

    I’ll look forward to following your blog.

    Yes, but any babe’s teeth upon the host lass’ teat ducts make her sore!
