Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation whith a job -

And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;

And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,

Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
