- 1605, Madam, within, but never man so change, chang'd. I told him of the army that was landed; He smile, smil'd at it. I told him you were coming; His answer was, "The worse." Of Gloucester's treachery, And of the loyal service of his son, When I inform, inform'd him, then he call'd me sot, And told me I had turn, turn'd the wrong side out. What most he should dislike seems pleasant to him; What like, offensive. — William Shakespeare, King Lear, Act IV, Scene II, line 2.
