Excerpt
Decius: Never fear that: that unicorns may be betray'd with trees, And bears with glasses, elephants with holes, lions with toils and men with flatterers.
But when I tell him he hates flatterers, He says he does, being then most flattered.
Let me work; for I can give his humour the true bent,
And I will bring him to the Capitol.
Casius: "Nay we will all of us be there to fetch him."
William Shakespeare-Julius Caesar
