"To leave no rubs nor botches in the work…"
Shakespeare's Macbeth to the murderers re the matter of Banquo's murder.
According to the Cambridge UP edition this is the OED's earliest citation for "botch".
The Royal Shakespeare Co. used to sell a rubber (eraser) with this quote printed on it. Cute.
I love this word.
