calumniate

Young men there are who behind our backs calumniate us and before us kiss our hands, with a base smile begging kind looks from us!

The hired advocate may calumniate as he will, but he can show no collusion or connivance on your part.

The imbeciles are not content to calumniate, to persecute, to make wretched the artist in his lifetime.

Calumniate a human being in youth—adulate that being in age;—what has been the interval?

But what would become of "bad tongues" in this world if there were not generous natures to calumniate and vilify?
