莎士比亚《罗密欧与朱丽叶》：
Ben. At this same ancient feast of Capulet's Sups the fair Rosaline whom thou so lov'st;With all the admired beauties of Verona.Go thither, and with unattainted eye Compare her face with some that I shall show,And I will make thee think thy swan a crow.
班伏里奥 在这一个凯普莱特家里按照旧例举行的宴会中间，你所热恋的美人罗瑟琳也要跟着维洛那城里所有的绝色名媛一同去赴宴。你也到那儿去吧，用着不带成见的眼光，把她的容貌跟别人比较比较，你就可以知道你的天鹅不过是一只乌鸦罢了。
