Satirist: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

The world's large tongue, Proclaims you for a man replete with mocks; Full of comparison and wounding flouts; Which you on all estates will execute, That lie within the mercy of your wit.— L. L. v. 2.
A very dull fool; his only gift is in devising impossible slanders; none but libertines delight in him; and the commendation is not in his wit, but in his villainy; for he both pleases men, and angers them, and then they laugh at him, and beat him.— M. A. ii. 1.
