HONEST HAUL AS RICHARD III.
“I do the wrong, and first begin to brawl.
The secret mischiefs that I set abroach
I lay unto the grievous charge of others.
* * * * * *
But then I sigh, and, with a piece of Scripture
Tell them—that God bids us do good for evil:
And thus I clothe my naked villany
With old odd ends, stol'n forth of Holy Writ:
And seem a saint when most I play the devil.”
Shakspeare.
