"O good Horatio, what a wounded name,

Things standing thus unknown, shall live behind me!"

Hamlet, Act v. Sc. 2

"How shall I find that friend

Of the rare friends, the deep-hearted?

When the delicate revels end

And the maskers have all departed.

At a sudden hour and a drear,

For the sweet hour is the sternest,

Thou shalt know who held thee dear,

Whose hand was thine in earnest."

Herbert Trench
