Quevedo is fantastic.
By the way, thanks for the Quintus Lutatius Catulus Major (in Cicero) reminder. I smell a mongoose there.
Swift wrote verse satire. Eratosphere grandees, care for some snuff?

'Tis an old maxim in the schools,
That flattery's the food of fools;
Yet now and then your men of wit
Will condescend to take a bit.

Jonathan Swift, Cadenus and Vanessa, line 769 ff.
