Additional quotes by Thomas Dekker

BALTHAZAR: I have a private coat for Italian stilettos, I can be treacherous with the Walloon, drunk with the Dutch, a chimney-sweeper with the Irish, a gentleman with the Welsh and true arrant thief with the English. What then is my country to me?

And though mine arm should conquer twenty worlds,
There ’s a lean fellow beats all conquerors.

This principle is old, but true as fate,—
Kings may love treason, but the traitor hate.
