"There's hope e'en on the death-bed for a square, straightforward thief, But Judases have always come to most peculiar grief; The Lord has pity, I suppose, for errin' men an' weak, But no good satisfact'ry place in which to put a sneak. An' when a man wins men's esteem, then thrives by their mistakes, He makes himself a bigger fool than all the fools he makes."
