Shakespeare struck the keynote of this lofty conception of life, and pronounced a never-dying eulogy upon the supreme dignity of character when he said: "Who steals my purse steals trash; ... But he that filches from me my good name Robs me of that which not enriches him, And makes me poor indeed." Wealth of soul is incomparably better than all that can be obtained from pomp and luxury.
But the trooper is stronger than Graul; and when the trooper sleeps it is with his knife by his side, and his sleep is light and broken, for he has wicked dreams. Give me a potion to make sleep deep, that his eyes may not open when Graul filches his gold, and his hand may be too heavy to draw the knife from its sheath!" "Immunda, detestabilis! thine own paramour!"
He is a robber in gross, and a thief in detail, he steals, he filches, he plunders, he oppresses, he extorts, all for the good of the dear East India Company, all for the advantage of his honored masters, the Proprietors, all in gratitude to the dear perfidious Court of Directors, who have been in a practice to heap "insults on his person, slanders on his character, and indignities on his station, who never had the confidence in him that they had in the meanest of his predecessors."
That's a pretty fable of your father's. I gave him the idea, though. Austin filches a great many of my ideas!" "Here's the idea in verse, uncle: 'O sunless walkers by the tide! O have you seen the Golden Bride! They say that she is fair beyond All women; faithful, and more fond! "You know, the young inquirer comes to a group of penitent sinners by the brink of a stream.
Shakespear hath nobly touched this vice, when he says "Who steals my purse steals trash; 't is something, nothing; 'Twas mine, 'tis his, and hath been slave to thousands: But he that filches from me my good name Robs me of that WHICH NOT ENRICHES HIM, BUT MAKES ME POOR INDEED."
