INGRATITUDE.
I hate ingratitude more in a man,
Than lying, vainness, babbling, drunkenness,
Or any taint of vice.
Twelfth Night, Act iii. Sc. 1. SHAKESPEARE.
He that's ungrateful, has no guilt but one;
All other crimes may pass for virtues in him.
Busiris. DR. E. YOUNG.
Ah, how unjust to Nature and himself
Is thoughtless, thankless, inconsistent man!
Night Thoughts, Night II. DR. E. YOUNG.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is
To have a thankless child!
King Lear, Act i. Sc. 4. SHAKESPEARE.
