No hath:

Heav’n has no rage, like love to hatred turn’d,
Nor Hell a fury, like a woman scorn’d.

Wow. Harree you are so knowledgeable about everything in the world.
And to think, you had that right
off the top of your mind, no research, no Google, no nothing.

You *are* the omniscient one. Don't break your arm slapping your back.

Maybe he is just an expert in scorned women.



Maybe I've read Congreve's play. Oh, wait...I did. It is a famous
quote...no need to get it wrong.

I really doubt there's much interest here (or anywhere for that matter)
for poems and plays written by some British dude in the 17th century.
I never heard of him because that sort of stuff holds little interest to
me.

However, I looked him up.Â* Here's what Wiki says about that line
from "The Mourning Bride":

"Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a
woman scorned," spoken by Zara in Act III, Scene VIII, but paraphrased
as "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."

I suppose you'd correct anyone today who said, "don't kiss and tell".

Congreve's original line was, "O fie, Miss, you must not kiss and tell".

What the hell does "O fie" mean and how often is it used today?





Ok. I looked up "O fie". I think the modern usage is "Oh, ****!"
