An excerpt from the Taming of the Shrew, by William Shakespeare:
PETRUCHIO "Come on, i' God's name; once more toward our father's. Good Lord, how bright and goodly shines the moon!
KATHARINA The moon! the sun: it is not moonlight now.
PETRUCHIO I say it is the moon that shines so bright.
KATHARINA I know it is the sun that shines so bright.
PETRUCHIO Now, by my mother's son, and that's myself, It shall be moon, or star, or what I list, Or ere I journey to your father's house. Go on, and fetch our horses back again. Evermore cross'd and cross'd; nothing but cross'd!
HORTENSIO Say as he says, or we shall never go.
KATHARINA Forward, I pray, since we have come so far, And be it moon, or sun, or what you please: An if you please to call it a rush-candle, Henceforth I vow it shall be so for me.
PETRUCHIO I say it is the moon.
KATHARINA I know it is the moon.
PETRUCHIO Nay, then you lie: it is the blessed sun.

CNN "Come on, i' God's name; once more toward our father's. Good Lord, how fiery and peaceful these protests are!
KATHARINA Peaceful? Tiz a riot...the city ablaze: it is not peaceful...
PETRUCHIO I say it is peaceful and the city that shines so bright in jubilation!
KATHARINA I know it is the roaring flames of desecration that shine so bright...
PETRUCHIO Now, by my mother's son, and that's myself, It shall be moon, or star, or what I list, Or ere I journey to your father's house. Go on, and fetch our horses back again. Evermore cross'd and cross'd; nothing but cross'd!

PETRUCHIO I say it is a peaceful protest.
KATHARINA I know it is a peaceful protest (Katharina shows Petruchio an image on her phone of Patriots parading through the Capitol with American Flags).
PETRUCHIO Nay...then you lie. TIZ AN INSURRECTION!
