The underside of the box bears the original engraved Shakespearean chant, known as 'Come fill to the Brim!':
Come fill to the brim! why remember, Our griefs and the goblet so boon? We have all felt the blast of December, Let this be the sun-shine of June.
I see by the flask of each eye boys, There's none in a humour to whine- So if care should presume to draw nigh boys, By Bacchus we'll duck him in wine.
I too have my griefs but forget them, In quaffing the blifs of the bowl: When flowers are drooping we wet them, And why not the same with the soul?
Then fill! why should trifles annoy us? Here's the girl or the friend of each heart, While together at least, let's be joyous -Tis too soon to be sad till we part.
The underside further incorporates the engraved name 'Law & Son, Dublin'
This exceptional 19th century snuff box retains the original gilding.
This magnificent table snuff box is a rare example and the finest of its type you could hope to acquire.
