VOLUMNIA: Hear me profess sincerely: had I a dozen sons, each in my love alike and none less dear than thine and my good Martius, I had rather had eleven die nobly for their country than one voluptuously surfeit out of action.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet

Coriolanus, Act 1, sc. 3, l. 21ff. (1.3.21) (c. 1608)
