“Shall we now
Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,
And sell the mighty space of our large honors
For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
I had rather be a dog and bay the moon
Than such a Roman.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“A college of wit-crackers cannot flout me out of my humor. Dost thou think I care for a satire or an epigram?”
