“And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.”
Bible
“And whatsoever else shall hap tonight, Give it an understanding, but no tongue”
William Shakespeare
“Think for thyself one good idea, But known to be thine own; Is better than a thousand gleaned, From fields by others sown”

“Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens: / Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.”
“So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.”
“And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.”
“but everybody dances with the Grim Reaper.”
