Quotes from Shakespeare's plays, circa 1600
Twelfth Night, Or What You Will, Act III, Scene 3
My kind Antonio,
I can no other answer make but thanks,
And thanks; and ever thanks; and oft good turns
Are shuffled off with such uncurrent pay:
But, were my worth as is my conscience firm,
You should find better dealing.
All's Well That Ends Well [I, 3]
