What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted!
Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just,
And he but naked, though locked up in steel,
Whose conscience with injustice is corrupted.

      — King Henry VI. Part II, Act III Scene 2

One thus descended,
That hath beside well in his person wrought
To be set high in place, we did commend

Scaling his present bearing with his past,
That he's your fixed enemy, and revoke
Your sudden approbation.
