Quote by William Shakespeare

He's of the colour of the nutmeg. And of the heat of the ginger.... he is pure air and fire; and the dull elements of earth and water never appear in him, but only in patient stillness while his rider mounts him; he is indeed a horse, and all other jades you may call beasts.

He's of the colour of the nutmeg. And of the heat of the gin

Summary

This quote describes a horse as being energetic and vibrant, comparing its color to nutmeg and its temperament to the heat of ginger. The horse is characterized as being made up of pure elements of air and fire, without any trace of the dull elements of earth and water. However, despite its fiery nature, the horse remains patient and still when its rider mounts it. In contrast to this exceptional horse, all other horses are deemed inferior, being likened to mere beasts or jades.
