bilby commented on the word a crack'd drachma!
"MARCIUS: See here these movers that do prize their hours
At a crack'd drachma! Cushions, leaden spoons,
Irons of a doit, doublets that hangmen would
Bury with those that wore them, these base slaves,
Ere yet the fight be done, pack up:--down with them!--
And hark, what noise the general makes!"
- William Shakespeare, 'The Tragedy of Coriolanus'.
