illiberality quotes

  • If I be evil intreated, or sent away with a flea in mine ear, let him look that Iwill rail onhimsoundly; nor foranhour or a day, whiles the injury is fresh in my memory; but in some elaborate polished poem, which I will leave to the world when I am dead, to be a living image to all ages of his beggarly parsimony and ignoble illiberality.

    -Thomas Nashe
      Pierce Penniless, His Supplication to the Devil, 'An Invective Against Enemies of Poetry'.
