By heaven, methinks it were an easy leap
To pluck bright honour from the pale-faced moon,
Or dive into the bottom of the deep,
Where fathom-line could never touch the ground,
And pluck up drowned honour by the locks.

      — King Henry IV. Part I, Act I Scene 3

And peg thee in his knotty entrails till
Thou hast howl'd away twelve winters.
