@nameshapes The saying assumes the swine will turn again and rend you, not that you'll run out of pearls. It also assumes the swine will trample the pearls into the dirt, thereby disgracing them, and probably concealing them to some extent.

If the bees do not know of the former, they become very irate, and sting every body within their reach; and if they are ignorant of the latter they become sick, and many of them die.[7]

[` @0ur4j57]

At all weddings and funerals they give a piece of the wedding-cake or funeral biscuit to the bees, informing them at the same time of the name of the party married or dead.

Whence comes this to pass, my masters? I beseech you think upon it.

So much they did, and so far they went pillaging and stealing, that at last they came to Seville, where they robbed both men and women, and took all they could catch: nothing was either too hot or too heavy for them.

For the curates, vicars, preachers, physicians, chirurgeons, and apothecaries, who went to visit, to dress, to cure, to heal, to preach unto and admonish those that were sick, were all dead of the infection, and these devilish robbers and murderers caught never any harm at all.

Certain restraints are like the finger positions of a flute-player, who stops now this hole and now that in order to produce different sounds, but seems to be making random combinations of silent and speaking holes.

When will we return? We do not take time into account; for us, time does not exist. Very soon or perhaps never.

Melanion is our ideal:
his loathing makes us free
Our dearest aim is the gemlike flame
of his misogyny

CHORUS OF MEN

I have a simple
　　　　　tale to relate you.
　　　　　a sterling example
　　　　　of masculine virtue:

The huntsman bold Melanion
was once a harried quarry
The women in town tracked him down
and badgered him to marry

[` @0ur4j57]

Melanion knew the cornered male
eventually cohabits
Assessing the odds, he took to the woods
and lived trapping rabbits

He stuck to the virgin stand, sustained
by rabbit meat and hate
and never returned, but ever remained
an alfresco celibate

Terrible in every sense: not only do its many digressions make it appear, in the words of one seventeenth-century critic, ‘rather a heap of Rubbish than a Structure’, but it is embarrassingly tasteless, alternating obscure debates with bouts of sadistic violence…

Denial is the word that best sums up the later critical reaction to Titus Andronicus. How could Shakespeare have written such a terrible play?

The random 'conjecture' of Lambarde, 1570-6, retailed by many later writers, that harlot in sense 5c was derived from the name of Arlette or Herleva, mother of William the Conqueror, could have been offered only after the earlier senses and uses of the word were forgotten.
