In literature, pensioning is often used metaphorically to describe the process of retiring or withdrawing from a situation. For example, in Shakespeare's 'King Lear,' the title character says, 'I will do so; but what if this my lady, / Carried I the heats of my desire away, / And gave it to the air?' To which his friend Kent replies, 'Prithee, no more: / Thou hast been out eight nights; look not so pale: / Get thee to bed, for this is harsh weather.' Here, pensioning refers to Lear's desire to retire from his duties as a king and give his power to someone else.
