It is a Monster bred of hellish Race, Then answered he, which often hath annoy’d Good Knights and Ladies true, and many else destroy’d. Spencer’s Fairy Queen, Book VI. Canto I. No Might, no Greatness in Mortality Can Censure ’scape: Back-wounding Calumny The whitest Virtue strikes. What King so strong, Can tye the Gall up in sland’rous Tongue? Shakespear.
