FORMALITY

Lord Angelo is precise;
  Stands at a guard with envy, scarce confesses
    That his blood flows, or that his appetite
      Is more to bread than stone.
      - William Shakespeare

There are a sort of men, whose visages
  Do cream and mantle, like a standing pond;
    And do a willful stillness entertain,
      With purpose to be dressed in an opinion
        Of wisdom, gravity profound conceit;
          As who should say, I am sir Oracle,
            And when I ope my lips, let no dog bark!
      - William Shakespeare

Oh, I see thee old and formal, fitted to thy petty part,
  With a little board of maxims preaching down a daughter's heart!
      - Lord Alfred Tennyson
