“Fair, rich, and young: how rare is her perfection,
Were it not mingled with one foul infection!
I mean, so proud a heart, so curst a tongue,
As makes her seem nor fair, nor rich, nor young.”
—Sir John Harington (1561–1612)
“And he’d better gone to the gallows.”
—Unknown. Jimmy’s Enlisted; or, The Recruited Collier (l. 8)
