   —— Windy attorneys to their client woes,
   Airy succeeders of intestate joys,
   Poor breathing orators of miseries. William Shakespeare, Richard III.

   When surfeited and swell'd, the peacock raw,
   He bears into the bath; whence want of breath,
   Repletions, apoplex, intestate death. John Dryden, Juvenal.
