Bespangle, be-spang′gl, v.t. to adorn with spangles, or with anything sparkling or shining.

From Chambers's Twentieth Century Dictionary (part 1 of 4: A-D) by Various

Yes, I would that, less generous, he would oppress, He would chain me, upbraid me, burn deep brands for hate, Than with this mask of freedom and gorgeousness Bespangle my slavery, mock my strange fate.

From Poems — Volume 1 by Meredith, George
