Sandro Botticelli, Annunciazione 1489-1490 tempera su tavola; 150 x 156 Firenze, Galleria degli Uffizi
PIRATES: Here’s a first-rate opportunity to get married with impunity, and indulge in the felicity of unbounded domesticity. You shall quickly be parsonified, conjugally matrimonified, by a doctor of divinity who is located in this vicinity.
GIRLS: We have missed our opportunity of escaping with impunity; so farewell to the felicity of our maiden domesticity! We shall quickly be parsonified, conjugally matrimonified, by a doctor of divinity, who is located in this vicinity.
Gilbert&Sullivan, The Pirates of Penzance (or The Slave of Duty), 1880
