Is this quote written by William Shakespeare?

Question

"I'll smother thee with kisses....1000 kisses short as 1.....one long as a thousand."

I am confused if Shakespeare actually wrote this. Help please!

Answer 1

I'll smother thee with kisses is from Shakespeare's Venus and Adonis. I think the other is variations from the play. Check the site below for reference.

Answer 2

Feeling on my skin?  No.  Sounds like it may have started from a Shakespeare quote, but someone modernized or added to it.  He wouldn't say something so simply trite in its balance.

Answer 3

William Shakespeare did write that quote...

Answer 4

Hmm. 'I'll smother thee with kisses' appears early in his 'Venus and Adonis' (Here come and sit, where never serpent hisses,/And being set, I'll smother thee with kisses,). I'm having more difficulty finding the other bits. Where did you find these quotes?

Answer 5

Yes, Shakespeare actually wrote this quote down.
