Othello
[II, 3]

Iago

1220

O sweet England!
King Stephen was a worthy peer,
His breeches cost him but a crown;
He held them sixpence all too dear,
With that he call'd the tailor lown.
He was a wight of high renown,
And thou art but of low degree:
'Tis pride that pulls the country down;
Then take thine auld cloak about thee.
Some wine, ho!

Pericles
[IV, 6]

Boult

1962

We should have both lord and lown, if the peevish
baggage would but give way to customers.
