Oh, Antony...

Roman beehives from Malta

CASSIUS:
Antony,
The posture of your blows are yet unknown;
But for your words, they rob the Hybla bees,
And leave them honeyless.

ANTONY:
Not stingless too?

BRUTUS:
Oh yes, and soundless too.
For you have stol'n their buzzing, Antony,
And very wisely threat before you sting.

Julius Caesar, Act 5, Scene 1
by William Shakespeare
