Just declaim a few lines from 'Othella’
And they think you’re a heckuva fella
If your blond won’t respond when you flatter 'er
Tell her what Tony told Cleopaterer
And if still, to be shocked, she pretends well
Just remind her that 'All’s Well That Ends Well’
Brush up your Shakespeare
And they’ll all kowtow

Fun thing about Early Modern English: doth has the same vowel sound as dust and duck, which makes sense because it’s the ancestor of do / does.
Three and a half centuries later, plus ça change…

Not quite every day, but there is often encouragement to stray lower, where the pleasant fountains lie.
