    Nay, do not think I flatter.
    For what advancement may I hope from thee,
    That no revenue hast but thy good spirits
    To feed and clothe thee? Why should the poor be flattered?
    No, let the candied tongue like absurd pomp,
    And crook the pregnant hinges of the knee
    Where thrift may follow fawning.
