I would rather be a poor beggar's wife and be sure of heaven, than queen of all the world . . .. |
Verily, I swear, ’tis better to be lowly born
And range with humble livers in content
Than to be perked up in a glist’ring grief
And wear a golden sorrow.
-- Anne Boleyn of Catherine, in William Shakespeare, Henry VIII, Act 2, scene 3
