“And yet in these days, if that men have riches,
Though they be hangmen, usurers or witches,
Devils-incarnate, such as have no shame
To act the thing that I shall blush to name,
Does that disgrace them one whit? Fie, no.
…There is no shame for rich men in these times,
For wealth will serve to cover many crimes.”
– George Wither, Abuses Stript and Whipt (1613)
Wither’s writing “gave such offense that he was committed to the Marshalsea prison for several months.” British Bibliographer 1 (1810), pp 4-5.

The word “fie” reminded me of “Jack and the Beanstalk”

“Fie-fi-foh-fum,
I smell the blood of an Englishman,
be he alive or be he dead,
I’ll have his bones to grind my bread”
