“Heav'n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn'd,
Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn'd.”
Act III, scene viii; often paraphrased: "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned". A similar line occurs in Love's Last Shift, by Colley Cibber, act iv.: "We shall find no fiend in hell can match the fury of a disappointed woman".
The Mourning Bride (1697)
Variant: Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned,
Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.
Context: Vile and ingrate! too late thou shalt repent
The base Injustice thou hast done my Love:
Yes, thou shalt know, spite of thy past Distress,
And all those Ills which thou so long hast mourn'd;
Heav'n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn'd,
Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn'd.
“This was hell and I was its fury.”

“Think not that aught the fury can surpass
Of woman, when she feels that she is scorned.”
Non crediate che sia maggiore sdegno,
Che quel di donna quando e dispregiata.
IX, 23
Rifacimento of Orlando Innamorato
“Its fury aims to shatter but our altars:
It scorns only the gods and never the mortals.”
Sa fureur ne va qu'à briser nos autels,
Elle n'en veut qu'aux dieux, et non pas aux mortels.
Stratonice, act I, scene iii
Referring to the early Christian church.
