Ay, you have been a mouse-hunt in your time;
But I will watch you from such watching now.
– William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet, Act 4, Scene 4. Lady Capulet brands her husband a woman chaser – "mouse-hunt" – in his young days. But as they set about organizing Juliet’s wedding, she vows to keep an eye on him so that he won’t be getting up to his old antics and eyeing up other women.
