King Claudius: Now, Hamlet, where's Polonius?
Hamlet: At supper.
King Claudius: At supper! Where?
Hamlet: Not where he eats, but where he is eaten: a certain
convocation of politic worms are e'en at him. Your
worm is your only emperor for diet: we fat all
creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for
maggots: your fat king and your lean beggar is but
variable service, two dishes, but to one table:
that's the end.
- Hamlet, act IV scene III
