Those cherries fairly do enclose
  Of orient pearl a double row,
    Which, when her lovely laughter shows,
      They look like rosebuds fill'd with snow.

My curse upon thy venom'd stang,
  That shoots my tortured gums alang;
    And through my lugs gies monie a twang,
      Wi' gnawing vengeance,
        Tearing my nerves wi' bitter pang,
          Like racking engines!
      - Robert Burns, Address to the Toothache

    To part her lips, and showed them there
      The quarelets of pearl.

Those cherries fairly do enclose
  Of orient pearl a double row,
    Which, when her lovely laughter shows,

Thais has black, Laecania white teeth; what is the reason? Thais has her own, Laecania bought ones.

I have the toothache.

      - William Shakespeare,
        Much Ado About Nothing
         (Benedick & Pedro at III, ii)

I will be flesh and blood;
  For there was never yet philosopher
    That could endure the toothache patiently,
      However they have writ the style of gods
        And make a push at chance and sufferance.
      - William Shakespeare,
        Much Ado About Nothing (Leonato at V, i)

In the spyght of his tethe.
