Shakespeare, 19th January

In the corrupted currents of this world,

Offence's gilded hand may shove by justice;

And oft 'tis seen, the wicked prize itself

Buys out the law: but 'tis not so above:

There is no shuffling, there the action lies

In his true nature; and we ourselves compelled,

Even to the teeth and forehead of our faults,

To give in evidence.

                                                     Hamlet, Act iii., Sc. 3.
