No hare, sir; unless a hare, sir, in a lenten pie, that is something stale and hoar ere it be spent.
– William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet, Act 2, Scene 4. This is Mercutio’s bawdy reply and wordplay, when asked by Romeo what has he seen as Juliet’s Nurse approaches Romeo. The literal meaning of the passage is: not a hare, except a hare in a lenten pie that would be stale and moldy before it is eaten – a person wasn’t meant to eat meat during Lent. But the passage is also full of double entendres and "hare" can also mean prostitute. So taking the bawdy meaning, Mercutio is saying that the Nurse is a prostitute who has grown too old and moldy.
