The hind that would be mated by the lion must die for love

In William Shakespeare's play "All's Well That Ends Well," the line "The hind that would be mated by the lion must die for love" is spoken by the character Parolles. This quote is a metaphorical expression of the idea that sometimes in order to achieve our desires, we must be willing to make sacrifices.
