- 1863, Sir Henry Taylor, Philip van Artevelde:
- How say'st thou that he lied? Sirs, it is true
I with this craven beggarly companion —
Of whose accompliceship to do the deed,
And not the deed itself, I speak with shame —
I with this caitiff truly did conspire,
For good and ample reasons, to remove
Sir Walter D'Arlon from this troublesome world.
