Ingratitude is monstrous.

Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel; But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new-hatch'd, unfledg'd comrade.

we are the lords of all eternity

Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice; Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
