Bedlam Beggars: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations
The country gives me proof and precedent Of Bedlam beggars, who, with roaring voices, Strike in their numb'd and mortified bare arms, Pins, wooden pricks, nails, sprigs of rosemary; And with this horrible object, from low farms, Poor pelting villages, sheep cotes, and mills, Sometimes with lunatic bans, sometimes with prayers,— K. L. ii. 3
Inforce their charity.
