nobles and wise men who, throwing away all shame, hire some flattering
orator or lying poet from whose mouth they may hear their praises, that
is to say, mere lies; and yet, composing themselves with a seeming

this impudent flatterer equals a man of nothing to the gods and proposes
him as an
absolute

sets out a pitiful jay in other's feathers, washes the blackamoor white,
