    To call passengers who go right on their ways:
    Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that
    wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
    Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

Do villainy, do, since you protest to do't,
Like workmen. I'll example you with thievery:

Robs the vast sea; the moon's an arrant thief,
And her pale fire she snatches from the sun;
The sea's a thief, whose liquid surges resolves
The moon into salt tears; the earth's a thief,
That feeds and breeds by a composture stol'n
From gen'ral excrement.

A murderer and a villain,
A slave that is not twentieth part the tithe
Of your precedent lord, a vice of kings,
A cutpurse of the empire and the rule,
That from a shelf the precious diadem stole
And put it in his pocket--
