“O, the most piteous cry of the poor souls!

sometimes to see ‘em, and not to see ‘em; now the

ship boring the moon with her main-mast, and anon

swallowed with yest and froth, as you’ld thrust a

cork into a hogshead. And then for the

land-service, to see how the bear tore out his

shoulder-bone; how he cried to me for help and said

his name was Antigonus, a nobleman. But to make an

end of the ship, to see how the sea flap-dragoned

it: but, first, how the poor souls roared, and the

sea mocked them; and how the poor gentleman roared

and the bear mocked him, both roaring louder than

the sea or weather.”



- Clown (The Winter’s Tale, Act III scene iii)
