PROSPERO
For this, be sure, to-night thou shalt have cramps,
Side-stitches that shall pen thy breath up; urchins
Shall, for that vast of night that they may work,
All exercise on thee; thou shalt be pinch'd
As thick as honeycomb, each pinch more stinging
Than bees that made 'em.William Shakespeare
The Tempest. 1613. Act 1, Scene 2
WARWICK
The commons, like an angry hive of bees
That want their leader, scatter up and down
And care not who they sting in his revenge.William Shakespeare
Henry IV, part 2. 1600. Act 3, Scene 2.
