Once, twice, thrice…What comes next? (And don’t say “…a lady”)?
What comes after "once," "twice," and "thrice"? Please refrain from responding with "...a lady." I'm curious about the next term in this sequence and any related concepts or patterns that might apply.

I found this on the Oxford Dictionaries Ask Oxford site:
"Nothing, I'm afraid. These three are the only words of their type, and no further terms in the series have ever existed (the suggestion of quince' for five times' is picturesque but no more!). Presumably the language has not felt the lack of them."
"Once, Twice, Thrice, Quarce, Quince, Sence, Septence, Octence, Novence, Tonce, Elevonce, Twolce, Thorce, Quartonce, Quintonce, Sextonce, Septonce, Octonce, and Noventonce..."
Finally a real answer. Boom.
