ANTONY. Villains, you did not so, when your vile daggers Hacked one another in the sides of Caesar: You showed your teeth like apes, and fawned like hounds, And bowed like bondmen, kissing Caesar’s feet, Whilst d*mnèd Casca, like a cur, behind, Struck Caesar on the neck. O you flatterers! —The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare
