Shout censure at me, the cur-crowd who crouched,

Ere that a woman's hate and a boy's pride

Smote me, the new Abimelech, so sore;

They'd hush me, like a garrulous greybeard, chaired

At the hearth-corner out of harm; they'd hush

My voice—the valorous vermin! What say they?

"That's a brave fellow; but he's vengeance proud;

Loves not the common people!" Humph! I stand

As MARCIUS would not, in the market-place,

And show my wounds to the people. Is that pride?
