bedaub

Our pessimist frauds and the Ibsensite pack Will groan as they thickly bedaub it in black.

He might certainly have given us less of the typographical tricks with which he chose to bedizen and bedaub it, and sometimes in his ultra-Rabelaisian moods—I do not mean of gauloiserie but of sheer fooling—we feel the falsetto rather disastrously.

Bedaub foul designs with a fair varnish.

To plaster over; to cover or smear thickly; to bedaub.

To cover with dung, as for manuring; to bedaub or defile, literally or figuratively.
