    The Plagiarism of orators is the art, or an ingenious and easy
    mode, which some adroitly employ to change, or disguise, all
    sorts of speeches or their own composition, or that of other
    authors, for their pleasure, or their utility; in such a manner
    that it becomes impossible even for the author himself to
    recognize his own work, his own genius, and his own style, so
    skillfully shall the whole be disguised.
    - Isaac D'Israeli,

Why, simpleton, do you mix your verses with mine? What have you
to do, foolish man, with writings that read more

Why, simpleton, do you mix your verses with mine? What have you
to do, foolish man, with writings that convict you of theft? Why
do you attempt to associate foxes with lions, and make owls pass
for eagles? Though you had one of Ladas's legs, you would not be
able, blockhead, to run with the other leg of wood.

Who skim the cream of others' books;

By plucking bon-mots from their places.

When 'Omer smote 'is bloomin' lyre,
He'd 'eard men sing by land an' sea;

An' what he thought 'e might require,
'E went an' took--the same as me.
