Beatrice and Benedick at the masked ball
"That a woman conceived me, I thank her; that she
Brought me up, I likewise give her most humble thanks:
But that I will have a recheat winded in my forehead, or hang my bugle
In an invisible baldrick, all women shall pardon me.
Because I will not do them the wrong to mistrust any,
I will do myself the right to trust none; and the fine is, for the which
I may go the finer, I will live a bachelor."
--Act 1, Scene 1: Benedick to Don Pedro
