Thou rascal beadle, hold thy bloody hand!
Why dost thou lash that whore? Strip thine own back;
Thou hotly lust’st to use her in that kind
For which thou whipp’st her.

– William Shakespeare

King Lear, Act 4, Scene 6. Lear continues to lash out at the corruption of authority. He hits out at the injustice and hypocrisy of the policeman who whips a prostitute for doing what he and other people want her to do.
