To try me with affliction; had they rain'd
All kinds of sores and shames on my bare head.

The fountain from the which my current runs,
Or else dries up; to be discarded thence!

To knot and gender in! Turn thy complexion there,
Patience, thou young and rose-lipp'd cherubin,
Ay, there, look grim as hell! — William Shakespeare
