Satire: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

Satire, keen and critical. Wit larded with melice.— T.C. v.

I must have liberty Withal, as large a charter as the wind, To blow on whom I please; for so fools have; And they that are most galled with my folly, They most must laugh: And why, sir, must they so? The why is plain as way to parish church; He, that a fool doth very wisely hit, Doth very foolishly, although he smart, Not to seem senseless of the bob; if not, The wise man's folly is anatomis'd Ev'n by the squand'ring glances of the fool.— A. Y. ii. 7.
