"Himself, indeed, confessed as much. 'I die

Justly' (groaned he) 'through over-greediness

Which tempted me to rob: but grieve the most

That he who quickened sin at slumber,—ay,

Prompted and pestered me till thought grew deed,—

The same is fled to Syria and is safe,

Laughing at me thus left to pay for both.

My comfort is that God reserves for him

Hell's hottest'" ...

"Idle words."
