All's fair in love and war again


 
 Against such lewdsters, and their lechery,
Those that betray them do no treachery.     
 
-- William Shakespeare, The Merry Wives of Windsor, Act 5, Scene 3

The righteous sleep undisturbed . . . by elves

Where's Pede?--go you, and where you find a maid,
That, ere she sleep, hath thrice her prayers said,
Rein up the organs of her fantasy;
Sleep she as sound as careless infancy;
But those that sleep, and think not on their sins,
Pinch them, arms, legs, backs, shoulders, sides, and shins.

-- William Shakespeare, Merry Wives of Windsor, Act V Scene V
