Macbeth (i) — Fight it like a man

MACDUFF
    [...]
    My wife killed too?
ROSS
    I have said.
MALCOLM
    Be comforted.
    Let's make us med'cines of our great revenge,
    To cure this deadly grief.
MACDUFF
    He has no children. All my pretty ones?
    Did you say all? O hell-kite! All?
    What, all my pretty chickens and their dam
    At one fell swoop?
MALCOLM
    Dispute it like a man.
MACDUFF
    I shall do so,
    But I must also feel it as a man.
—Shakespeare, Macbeth
(Act 4, Scene 3)
