Therefore was I created with a stubborn outside, with an aspect of iron, that when I come to woo ladies, I fright them. But, in faith, Kate, the elder I wax, the better I shall appear. My comfort is that old age, that ill layer-up of beauty, can do no more spoil upon my face. Thou hast me, if thou hast me, at the worst, and thou shalt wear me, if thou wear me, better and better. ✨ William Shakespeare, Richard Proudfoot, Ann Thompson, David Scott Kastan (2001). Arden Shakespeare Complete Works, p.461, A&C Black
