"That he defends the supreme powers, as the
Geese by their cackling defended the Romans, who held the Capitol; for they favored them no more than the Gauls their Enemies, but were as ready to have defended the Gauls if they had been
possessed of the Capitol."
---Thomas Hobbes,
Epistle Dedicatory of the Leviathan.
(feel free to replace "o" in Capitol with "a" in translating to present)
