    For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high
    places of the city,
    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:
The sun's a thief, and with his great attraction
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.

Are much condemned to have an itching palm,
To sell and mart your offices for gold
To undeservers.
