"Chain me with roaring bears;Or shut me..." - Quote by William Shakespeare
Chain me with roaring bears;Or shut me nightly in a charnel-house,O'er-covered quite with dead men's rattling bones,With reeky shanks and yellow chapless skulls;Or bid me go into a new-made grave,And hide me with a dead man in his shroud;Things that, to hear them told, have made me tremble;And I will do it without Fear or Doubt,To live an unstain'd Wife of my sweet Love.

Where's thy drum?France spreads his banners in our noiseless land,With plumed helm thy state begins to threat,Whilst thou, a moral fool, sits still and cries'Alack, why does he so?']”
