Read this excerpt from act III , scene II , of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet :
NURSE: There's no trust,
No faith, no honesty in men;all
perjured,
All forsworn, all naught , all
dissemblers.
Ah, where's my man? give me some
aqua vitae:
These griefs, these woes, these
sorrows make me old.
Shame come to Romeo!
JULIET: Blister'd be thy tongue
For such a wish! he was not born to
shame:
Upon his brow shame is ashamed to sit;
For 'tis a throne where honour may be
crown'd
Sole monarch of the universal earth.
O, what a beast was I to chide at him!
