To injure, to insult, and to save himself from the consequences of injury and insult by lying and equivocating, was the habit of his life. He published a lampoon on the Duke of Chandos; he was taxed with it; and he lied and equivocated. He published a lampoon on Aaron Hill; he was taxed with it; and he lied and equivocated.
Guided by his demonstration, we are enabled to dissect out to their ultimate issues the minutest ramifications of intrigue. We join in the amusement of the popular lampoon; we visit the prison-house; we stand by the scaffold; we are present at the battle and the siege. We can scan the inmost characters of men and can view them in their. habits as they lived."
It's Miss Slammer who will be ashamed, I rather imagine." Perhaps Miss Slammer was surprised at receiving an invitation from Wellington University after her lampoon of college girls.
But let the world witness for me that I have been often wanting to myself in that particular; I have seldom answered any scurrilous lampoon when it was in my power to have exposed my enemies; and, being naturally vindicative, have suffered in silence, and possessed my soul in quiet.
I have already seen the obscene libel to which my pleasure party has given birth. I have read 'Le lever de l'aurore." "Who has dared to insult you by the sight of it?" asked Louis, indignantly. "Oh, sire," said Marie Antoinette, bitterly, "there are always good friends, who are ready to wound us with the weapons of others. I found the lampoon on my table this morning, among my letters."

We may see women in control of our political Acropolis, forcing the world to make peace to save our chances of becoming ultimately civilised. The Thesmophoriazousae, staged in 411, is a lampoon on Euripides. That poet with his kinsman Mnesilochus calls at the house of Agathon, a brother tragedian whose style is amusingly parodied.
The axe, methinks, would have been a good figure for a lampoon, had the edge of it consisted of the most satirical parts of the work; but as it is in the original, I take it to have been nothing else but the poesy of an axe which was consecrated to Minerva, and was thought to be the same that Epeus made use of in the building of the Trojan horse; which is a hint I shall leave to the consideration of the critics.
Neither Jove nor Jupiter nor Jehovah! As for the Christ, He is made the subject of many a public caricature, yes! you may see them in the side-streets pasted upon the walls and hoardings! and also of many a low lampoon; but He is not accepted as a Teacher, nor even as an Example. His reign is over, in Paris at least!"
You never penned a line which for its own sake you need, dying, wish to blot. You mistake your heart if you think you can write a lampoon. Your whips are rods of roses. Your spleen has ever had for its objects vices, not the vicious, abstract offences, not the concrete sinner.
