Sheriff's Officer: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

One, whose hard heart is button'd up with steel; A fiend, a fairy, pitiless and rough; A wolf, nay worse, a fellow all in buff; A back-friend, a shoulder-clapper, one that countermands The passages of alleys, creeks, and narrow lands; A hound that runs counter, and yet draws dry-foot well; One that, before judgment, carries poor souls to hell.— C. F. iv. 2
