Thou elvish-marked, abortive, rooting hog, Thou that wast sealed in thy nativity The slave of Nature, and the son of hell; Thou slander of thy heavy mother's womb, Thou loathed issue of thy father's loins, Thou rag of honour!

Thou elvish-marked, abortive, rooting hog,
Thou that wast sealed in thy nativity
The slave of Nature, and the son of hell;
Thou slander of thy heavy mother’s womb,
Thou loathed issue of thy father’s loins,
Thou rag of honour!

– William Shakespeare

Richard III, Act 1, Scene 3.
