While the rich and noble were assailed on any trivial accusation, in order to fill an empty treasury, the beasts of Numidia were tearing their victims, gladiators were Prostituting a noble courage in dealing inglorious wounds in the arena, and fleets of armed galleys charged and crashed in mimic, yet often deadly, battle in the flooded Flavian amphitheatre.
"Roman Society from Nero to Marcus Aurelius"
Samuel Dill
Ernest saw him squandering away his substance, and Prostituting his talents to drawing-room trifles, with a compassionate sigh.
"Ernest Maltravers, Complete"
Edward Bulwer-Lytton

"Manhood of Humanity."
