“And like bright metal on a sullen ground,

My reformation, glitt’ring o’er my fault,

Shall show more goodly and attract more eyes

Than that which hath no foil to set it off.

I’ll so offend, to make offence a skill,

Redeeming time when men think least I will.”

– Prince Hal, Henry IV by William Shakespeare.
