Too often 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
