Obsequiousness: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

So play the foolish throngs with one that swoons, Come all to help him, and so stop the air By which he should revive: and even so, The general, subject to a well-wish'd king, Quit their own part, and in obsequious fondness Crowd to his presence, where their untaught love Must needs appear offence.— M. M. ii.4.
