making the beast with two backs, as Shakespeare would say.

HUH? Did Shakespeare say that? Cite play, act and scene please.

Othello, Act One, Scene One:

Iago

'Zounds, sir, you are one of those that will not
serve God, if the devil bid you. Because we come to
do you service and you think we are ruffians, you'll
have your daughter covered with a Barbary horse;
you'll have your nephews neigh to you; you'll have
coursers for cousins and gennets for germans.

Brabantio

What profane wretch art thou?

Iago

I am one, sir, that comes to tell you your daughter
and the Moor are now making the beast with two backs.

Brabantio

Thou art a villain.

Iago

You are--a senator.
