    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.

Yet thanks I must you con
That you are thieves professed, that you work not
In holier shapes; for there is boundless theft
In limited professions.

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--

But keep your hands out of his breeches' pocket.
