And to the manner born, it is a custom
More honoured in the breach than the observance.

First Citizen

I say unto you, what he hath done famously, he did

content to say it was for his country he did it to
please his mother and to be partly proud; which he
is, even till the altitude of his virtue.

Stood the state so? No, no, good friends, God wot;
For then this land was famously enrich'd
With politic grave counsel; then the king
Had virtuous uncles to protect his grace.
