bilby commented on the word undercrest
"CORIOLANUS: I will go wash;
And when my face is fair you shall perceive
Whether I blush or no: howbeit, I thank you;--
I mean to stride your steed; and at all times
To undercrest your good addition
To the fairness of my power."
- William Shakespeare, 'The Tragedy of Coriolanus'.
