Letter "B" » Bribery
"And ye sall walk in silk attire,
And siller hae to spare,
Gin ye'll consent to be his bride,
Nor think o'Donald mair."
Author: Miss Susanna Blamire
About: Bribery
"'Tis pleasant purchasing our fellow-creatures;
And all are to be sold, if you consider
Their passions, and are dext'rous; some by features
Are brought up, others by a warlike leader;
Some by a place–as tend their years or natures;
The most by ready cash–but all have prices,
From crowns to kicks, according to their vices."
Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
About: Bribery
"Flowery oratory he [Walpole] despised. He ascribed to the
interested views of themselves or their relatives the
declarations of pretended patriots, of whom he said, "All those
men have their price."

Where looks are merchandise, and smiles are sold."

And ask no questions but the price of votes."

abused; the law itself is influenced by gold, and soon there will
be an end of every modest restraint.
