Democratic Sentinel, Volume 19, Number 32, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 August 1895 — “Too Thin" Is Shakspearean. [ARTICLE]

“Too Thin" Is Shakspearean.

Alexander H. Stephens may have used the phrase “too thin,” but he was not the author of It, as has been asserted. In Shakspeare's “King Henry VIII.’’ It occurs as follows: “I come not to hear such flattery now, and in my presence; they are too thin and bare to hide offenses.’’
