William Shakespeare on Punishment
← Back to William Shakespeare Profile
“Some of us will smart for it.”
“Off with his head! so much for Buckingham!”
“A testy babe will scratch the nurse, And presently all humbled kiss the rod.”
“Thou shalt be whipp'd with wire, and stew'd in brine, Smarting in ling'ring pickle.”
“Vex not his ghost: Oh; let him pass! he hates him, That would upon the rack of this tough world Stretch him out longer.”
