A popular maxim, adage, or proverb.
To write a parody upon; to burlesque.

burlesque; travesty.
How can a man’s candour be seen in all its lustre unless he has a few failings to talk of? But he had an agreeable confidence that his faults were all of a generous kind—impetuous, arm-blooded, leonine; never crawling, crafty, reptilian.
