Another bold-faced cheat preached to the colonists a most impressive sermon on the text, "Let him that stole steal no more," while his own pockets were stuffed out with stolen money. "Out of the fulness of the heart the mouth speaketh." Dicky Swayn, "after a thousand rogueries," set up as a parson in Boston.
It is pleasant to prove to her, even by an abortive rising, that all her crimes, rogueries, and diplomacies against us have been vain to quench our hate. We have been scattered over the world, but our hate has been intensified.
We must not forget that the Rogueries of Scapin is one of the latest works of the poet.
'He thinks that Gill might be got over that if done by you with three or four hundred pounds, he'd either make his evidence so light, or he'd contradict himself, or, better than all, he'd not make an appearance at the trial 'Compounding a felony! Catch me at it! cried the old man, with a yell. 'Well, Joe Atlee will be here to-night, continued Dick. 'He's a clever fellow at all rogueries.

Was it worth while, think you, to arch the firmament above our rogueries, and light the ageless stars as candles to display our antics?
To my great chagrin, Charles selected from his rogueries, as best within the jurisdiction of the English courts, the matter of the payment for the Castle of Lebenstein made in London, and through a London banker. "I have a warrant on that ground," he said. I trembled as he spoke. I felt at once that the episode of the commission, the exposure of which I dreaded so much, must now become public.
She knew the poor tradesmen who were bankrupt by his extravagance the mean shifts and rogueries with which he had ministered to it the astounding falsehoods by which he had imposed upon the most generous of aunts, and the ingratitude and ridicule by which he had repaid her sacrifices.
All is at the mercy of the maritime powers, who have pushed things to the extremity we see; and we, France, who were alone capable of resisting such a torrent at this date here be we exhausted, and not in a condition to check these rogueries and this power, even by uniting ourselves the most closely with Spain.
