π Coriolanus
Quotes from this book
There was a time when all the bodyβs members /
Rebelled against the belly, thus accused it: /
That only like a gulf it did remain /
Iβ thβ midst oβ thβ body, idle and unactive, /
Still cupboarding the viand, never bearing
You [β¦] That preferre / A Noble life, before a Long, and Wish / To iumpe a Body with a dangerous Physicke, / That's sure of death without it: at once plucke out / The Multitudinous Tongue, let them not licke / The sweet which is their poyson.
Lay the fault on us.
Do you hear how we are shent for keeping your greatness back?
For the mutable ranke-sented Meynie, / Let them regard me, as I doe not flatter, / And therein behold themselves.
