Bribery: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

Shall we now Contaminate our fingers with base bribes? And sell the mighty space of our large honours, For so much trash as may be grasped thus? I had rather be a dog and bay the moon,— J. C. iv. 3
Than such a Roman. You yourself Are much condemn'd to have an itching palm; To sell and mart your offices for gold, To undeservers.— J. C. iv. 3.
