William Shakespeare
Who wears no honesty. Such smiling rogues as these,
Like rats, oft bite the holy cords atwain

Being oil to the fire, snow to the colder moods,
Renege, affirm, and turn their halcyon beaks
With every gale and vary of their masters
Knowing naught, like dogs, but following.”

Who cover faults, at last shame them derides.”
