What's with the fish?
"I do profess to be no less than I seem, to serve/him truly that will put me in trust, to love him that/is honest, to converse with him that is wise and says/little, to fear judgement, to fight when I cannot/choose, and to eat no fish."
Shakespeare, King Lear Acts 1,2 -- Jerz: EL150 (Intro to Literary Study)
