Such smiling rogues as these,

Like rats, oft bite the holy cords in twain.

Too intrinsicate t’unloose.

SHAKESPEARE, King Lear.

My other self, my counsel’s consistory,

My oracle, my prophet,

I as a child will go by thy direction.

Richard III.

If I do not have pitv upon her, I’m a villain:

If I do not love her, I am a Jew.
