    If he be so resolved,
    I can o'ersway him; for he loves to hear
    That unicorns may be betrayed with trees
    And bears with glasses, elephants with holes,
    Lions with toils, and men with flatterers,
    He says he does, being then most flattered.

That no revenue read more

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.
