There is no following her in this fierce vein:
Here therefore for a while I will remain.
So sorrow’s heaviness doth heavier grow
For debt that bankrupt sleep doth sorrow owe:
Which now in some slight measure it will pay,
If for his tender here I make some stay.
– William Shakespeare
A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 3, Scene 2. Demetrius is feeling sleepy and sorrowful after his unsuccessful pursuit of the "fierce" Hermia, so he decides to call it a day. He lies down and takes a nap. He uses a money metaphor to compare his lack of sleep to a money deficit, saying that he will pay down his sleep deficit – "his tender" – by resting here a while.
