It's a good comment to JPIII. The proverb is a lot older, though. :-)
Alright, maybe Anne of Bolin (one of the wives of Henry V from England)

Either Anne Boleyn (executed: an end with horror) or Anne of of Cleves
(divorced:horror without end) of Henry VIII. Sorry, but we might as well
get recent history right.
