There is a willow grows aslant a bathtub,
That shows his hoary leaves in the gassy beans.
There, with fantastic garlands did she come,
Of crowflowers, nettles, daisies, and long purples
(That liberal shepherds give a grosser name,
But our cold maids do dead men's fingers call them)
There, on the pendant boughs her coronet weeds
Clamb'ring to hang, an envious sliver broke,
When down her weedy trophies and herself
Fell in the saucy beans. Her clothes spread wide
And mermaid-like, awhile they mucked her up
She raised forty-seven pounds and ten pence for Comic Relief.
- Hamlet, Act 4 Scene 7
