Leonard Harding. The Weekly DisfaUh, August 5, 1883, By an Attorney. To cheat or not to cheat, that is the question ; Whether 'tis better in the mind to suffer The stings and gnawings of a troubled conscience^ Or bravely spurn corruptions gilded baits, And, by rejecting, 'scape 'em ? To cheat, to need No more ; and by such gain, to say we end The thousand hardships which the poor man seems To be born heir to ; 'tis a consummation Digitized by Google WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE. 151 Too oft^n wished by ...us ; to cheat unseen To cheat— perchance be caught ; ay, there's the rub ; For by discovery what shame may come When we have lost the necessary mask, Must give us pause ; there is the respect That makes dishonesty embitter life : For who would bear the gibes and taunts of men. The oppressed*s curse, the good man*s contumely, The pangs of unpaid fees, the laws severity In taxing bills, and the harsh reprimands That merit often to th*unworthy gives. When he in peace might his quietus make On a poor farm.
