The origin of this supposed quote is William Shakespeare's play Henry V, Act iv, scene iv. However, the form has been mangled in popular usage. The full, original line (spoken by the comic character, Pistol) is given below. Note that neither the word nor notion of "smell" appears in it. (In any case, I assume we are to read it as a noun. Were it a verb, the proper form would have been "(thou) smellest".)
