Like a base pander, hold the chamber door
Whilst by a slave
His fairest daughter is contaminated. Shakesp. Hen. V.

There is a plot against my life. Shakesp. Wint. Tale.

Are privileged
To clap the first, and rule the theatre. Dryden.

Of that pretended passion;
A single witness infamously known,
Against two persons of unquestion'd fame. Dryden.

The pander to thy lust and black ambition. Rowe.
