“Not to these shores she came! this other Thrace,
Environ barbarous to the royal Attic;
How could her delicate dirge run democratic,
Delivered in a cloudless boundless public place
To an inordinate race?”

“The military and the clergy cause us much annoyance; the clergy and the military, they empty our wallets and rob our intelligence.”
