The Machiavellian

With honeyed comments, you absorb adulation in vain; drinking it in like a congratulatory champagne. Down your nose, you smoothly cajole; Deft at choreographing leverage to reach a goal. The effete man you put forth is cast in boorish airs - Stealthily exuding to foil all players. Irreproachable character, you claim in spades, but to athwart interference you throw up blockades Speaking in bitter tones, speeches full of lies suppressed - churlishly angered with those that protest.
