- So full of artless jealousy is guilt,
It spills itself in fearing to be spilt. - William Shakespeare, "Hamlet", Act 4 scene 5
- Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rises at it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now; your gambols, your songs? your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one now, to mock your own grinning? Quite chap-fallen? Now get you to my lady's chamber, and tell her, let her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must come.

Then imitate the action of the tiger:
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood. - William Shakespeare, "King Henry V", Act 3 scene 1
