Read this excerpt from Shakespeare's The Tempest in which Prospero addresses Caliban:

For this, be sure, to-night thou shalt have cramps,

Side-stitches that shall pen thy breath up; urchins

Shall, for that vast of night that they may work,

All exercise on thee; thou shalt be pinch'd

As thick as honeycomb, each pinch more

stinging

Than bees that made 'em
