The flavor text is derived from the play King Lear by William Shakespeare, in which the title character laments that his daughter Cordelia refuses to make grandiose her profession of filial love for him and calls for a curse upon her.
"Hear, Nature; hear, dear goddess, hear!
Suspend thy purpose, if thou didst intend
To make this creature fruitful!
Into her womb convey sterility;
Dry up in her the organs of increase,
And from her derogate body never spring
A babe to honour her! If she must teem,
Create her child of spleen, that it may live
And be a thwart disnatur'd torment to her!
Let it stamp wrinkles in her brow of youth,
With cadent tears fret channels in her cheeks,
Turn all her mother's pains and benefits
To laughter and contempt, that she may feel
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is
To have a thankless child!"
- King Lear, Act 1, Scene 4, Lines 272-286
