    How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out
    of thy sleep?
    Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the
    hands to sleep:
    So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth,
    and thy want as an armed man.

No might nor greatness in mortality
Can censure 'scape; back-wounding calumny
The whitest virtue strikes. What king so strong
Can tie the gall up in the slanderous tongue?
