Werther had a love for Charlotte
Such as words could never utter;
Would you know how first he met her?
She was cutting bread and butter.

Charlotte, having seen his body
Borne before her on a shutter,
Like a well-conducted person,
Went on cutting bread and butter.William Makepeace Thackeray
Yes yes (quoth she) for all those wyse woordis vttred,
I know on which syde my bread is buttred.
But there will no butter cleaue on my breade.
And on my bread any butter to be spreade.
Euery promise that thou therin dost vtter,
Is as sure as it were sealed with butter.John Heywood
I won't quarrel with my bread and butter.
Jonathan Swift
He knows which Side of his Bread is butter'd.
Thomas (writer) Fuller
Besides, they always smell of bread and butter.
Lord Byron
