What if Henry VIII had had to abide by the Uniform Code of Military Justice? Would he have sent topless paintings of himself to Ann Boleyn anyway?
Answer:
"Fie on sinful fantasy!
Fie on lust and luxury!
Lust is but a bloody fire.
Kindled with unchaste desire ...
Pinch him, fairies, mutually,
Pinch him for his villainy."
(Merry Wives of Windsor 5.5.90-97)
Interpretation:
Yeah. I don't think pinching would have really stopped him. He'd eat those fairies for breakfast. With a rich sauce and a gallon of malmsey.
