How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is
To have a thankless child!

King Lear (1605)

Let never day nor night unhallow'd pass,
But still remember what the Lord hath done.

O Lord, that lends me life, Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness!

Thou thought'st to help me; and such thanks I give
As one near death to those that wish him live.

Now the good gods forbid
That our renowned Rome, whose gratitude
Towards her deserved children is enroll'd
In Jove's own book, like an unnatural dam
Should now eat up her own!
