Template:Dsh razor quote

HERCULIO: ’Tis neither malice, spite, nor virtue
Whose ledger swells, or plucks, the seedy fruits of progress —
But mainly accident.
Lest thy with surety know aught else —
Withhold thy assignations.
TRIAGO: Pish upon thee, nuncle. Pish!
Dost thou mean to say
Things peel this way
Through doughty misadventure?
HERCULIO: Peradventure —
TRIAGO: Pish abeam!
Wouldst thou ’pon this shaky surmise
Withhold thy rebuke? Has thou
No more to say than that?
HERCULIO: ’Tis but a fluke.

—Büchstein, Die Schweizer Heulsuse
