Good name is man and woman
Is the immediate jewel of their souls;
Who steals my purse steals trash: tis' something,
nothing;
'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands;
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him,
And makes me poor indeed.
W Shakespeare
Condemn not, judge not: not to man
Is given his brothers' faults to scan;
One task is thine, and one alone –
To search out and subdue thine own
