Are there not, dear Michal,

Two points in the adventure of the diver,—

One, when a beggar he prepares to plunge;

One, when a prince he rises with his pearl?

Festus, I plunge.

Robert Browning (1812-1890): Paracelsus. Part i.

'T was merry when

You wager'd on your angling; when your diver

Did hang a salt-fish on his hook, which he

With fervency drew up.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616): Antony and Cleopatra. Act ii. Sc. 5.
