And why, my lady wisdom? hold your tongue,
Good prudence; smatter with your gossips, go.
– William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet, Act 3, Scene 5. Capulet uses sarcasm and verbal irony to call the Nurse "lady wisdom" and "Good prudence" after she challenges him over his mistreatment of Juliet. He dismissively tells her to go chatter with her gossips.
