Volscian General Tullus Aufidius monologue about his handsome and charismatic Roman "enemy" Coriolanus (Act IV, Scene V):

"Oh Martius, Martius, each word thou hath spoke...

Here I clip the anvil of my do contest as hotly and as nobly with thy love as ever in ambitious strength I did contend against thy valor.

And I loved the maid I married; never man sighed truer breath. But that I see thee here thou noble thing, more dances my rapt heart than when I first my wedded mistress saw bestride my threshold."

Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben won the eternal gratitude of our Founding Fathers for helping America defeat the British.
