Tongue-Tied? From Nagging Wives to a Question of Taste

That skull had a tongue in it and could sing once. How the knave jowls it to the ground, as if it were Cain’s jawbone, that did the first murder! It might be the pate of a politician, which this ass now o’erreaches, one that would circumvent God, might it not?…Or of a courtier, which could say, ‘Good morrow, sweet lord!’ ‘How dost thou, good lord?’ This might be my Lord Such-a-one that praised my Lord Such-a-one’s horse when he meant to beg it, might it not?

(William Shakespeare, Hamlet1)
