I would have such a fellow whipped for o'erdoing Termagant; it out-herods Herod. Pray you, avoid it.
Pagina 2 - What had you got? I'll tell you: you had taught How insolence and strong hand should prevail, How order should be quelled, and by this pattern Not one of you should live an aged man, For other ruffians, as their fancies wrought, With selfsame hand, self reasons and self right, Would shark on you, and men like ravenous fishes Would feed on one another.
