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.
