The fear o' hell's a hangman's whip

To haud the wretch in order;

But where ye feel your honour grip,

Let that aye be your border.

Robert Burns (1759-1796): Epistle to a Young Friend.

O Heaven, that such companions thou 'ldst unfold,

And put in every honest hand a whip

To lash the rascals naked through the world!

William Shakespeare (1564-1616): Othello. Act iv. Sc. 2.

Whip me such honest knaves.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616): Othello. Act i. Sc. 1.
