LEONATO Well, then, go you into hell? BEATRICE No, but to the gate; and there will the devil meet me, like an old cuckold, with horns on his head, and say 'Get you to heaven, Beatrice, get you to heaven; here's no place for you maids:' so deliver I up my apes, and away to Saint Peter for the heavens; he shows me where the bachelors sit, and there live we as merry as the day is long. ↗

Assuredly, whomsoever this concupiscence leads into marriage deserves payment rather than affection. ↗

And that’s about all any of us can really hope for, to die with our dignity, to die with honor and valor. To die knowing we did everything we could. ↗
