Doing more murder in this loathsome world,
Than these read more

There is thy gold--worse poison to men's souls,
Doing more murder in this loathsome world,
Than these poor compounds that thou mayst not sell.

Farewell. Buy food and get thyself in flesh.

Nay, sometimes hangs both thief and true man.
