Will make him fly an ordinary pitch,
Who else would soar above the view of men,
And keep us all in servile fearfulness.”

“I have given suck, and know
How tender ‘tis to love the babe that milks me;
I would, while it was smiling in my face,
Have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums
And dashed the brains out, had I so sworn
As you have done to this.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
