Hamlet. Dost thou know this water-fly? / Horatio. No, my good lord. / Hamlet. Thy state is the more gracious; for 'tis a vice to know him. / SHAKESPEARE.
Here on my knees by heaven's blest nower I swear, / If you persist, I ne'er henceforth will see you; / But rather wander through the world a beggar, / And live on sordid scraps at poor men's doors. / For, though to fortune lost, I'll still inherit / My mother's virtues and my father's honor. Otway.
