• Shakespeare: "The Ring"
  Bassanio:

  Sweet Portia,
  If you did know to whom I gave the ring,
  If you did know for whom I gave the ring
  And would conceive for what I gave the ring
  And how unwillingly I left the ring,
  When nought would be accepted but the ring,
  You would abate the strength of your displeasure.

  Portia:

  If you had known the virtue of the ring,
  Or half her worthiness that gave the ring,
  Or your own honour to contain the ring,
  You would not then have parted with the ring.

  (William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, Act 5, scene 1)
