'I think the procreation of children as beneficial to the world,' said Yorick, 'as the finding out of the longitude.'
'To be sure,' said my mother, 'love keeps peace in the world.'
'In the house, my dear, I own-'
'It replenishes the earth,' said my mother.
'But it keeps heaven empty - my dear,' replied my father.
''Tis Virginity,' cried Slop triumphantly, 'which fills paradise.'
'Well said, nun!' quoth my father.
