A quotation from Joseph Addison
“Censure,” says a late ingenious author, “is the tax a man pays for being eminent.” It is a folly for an eminent man to think of escaping it, and a weakness to be affected with it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity, and indeed of every age in the world, have passed through this fiery persecution. There is no defense against reproach but obscurity; it is a kind of concomitant to greatness, as satires and invectives were an essential part of a Roman triumph.
Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Essay (1711-06-26), The Spectator, No. 101Sourcing, notes: wist.info/addison-joseph/77248…

“Are you being ironic?” Good question! The literal meaning is not always the intended one. An interdisciplinary research team at @MPI_ae found that irony is primarily signaled by moving stress within a sentence.
