We'll set thee to school to an ant, to teach thee there's no labouring i' the winter.

King Lear (1608)

I do present you with a man of mine,
Cunning in music and the mathematics,
To instruct her fully in those sciences.

When I am forgotten, as I shall be,
And sleep in dull cold marble,
* * * *
Say, I taught thee.

Henry VIII (1613)

Schoolmasters will I keep within my house,
Fit to instruct her youth. * * *
* * * To cunning men
I will be very kind, and liberal
To mine own children in good bringing up.
