For who would bear the Whips and Scorns of time, The Oppressor's wrong, the proud man's Contumely, The pangs of dispised Love, the Law’s delay, The insolence of Office, and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his Quietus make With a bare Bodkin ?

For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppres­sor’s wrong, the proud man’s con­tu­me­ly,
The pangs of dispised Love, the Law’s delay,
The inso­lence of Office, and the spurns
That patient mer­it of the unwor­thy takes,
When he him­self might his qui­etus make
With a bare bod­kin ?

— William Shake­speare, Ham­let, Act 3, Scene 1
