There's such divinity doth hedge a king,
That treason can but peep to what it would.
They (corporations) cannot commit treason, nor be outlawed nor excommunicate, for they have no souls.
Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason?
Why, if it prosper, none dare call it treason.
Great Caesar fell.
O, what a fall was there, my countrymen!
Then I, and you, and all of us fell down,
Whilst bloody treason flourish'd over us.
Better be with the dead,
Whom we, to gain our peace, have sent to peace,
Than on the torture of the mind to lie
In restless ecstasy. Duncan is in his grave;
After life's fitful fever he sleeps well:
Treason has done his worst; nor steel, nor poison,
Malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing,
Can touch him further.
Caesar had his Brutus; Charles the First, his Cromwell; and George the Third ["Treason!" cried the Speaker]—may profit by their example. If this be treason, make the most of it.
Oh for a tongue to curse the slave
Whose treason, like a deadly blight,
Comes o'er the councils of the brave,
And blasts them in their hour of might!
Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason?
Why, if it prosper, none dare call it treason.
