Shakespeare Words

Shakespearean, not stirred.

If Shakespeare wrote it, we've Shmooped it.

Dwindle

Popularized in Henry IV Part 1

Bardolph, am I not fallen away vilely since this last

Dwindle = shrink. So yes, this guy (Falstaff) is asking if he's shrunk (probably in terms of muscle, not height…but you never know).
