Like Esop's fellow-slaves, O Mercury, <br />Which could do all things, thy faith is ; and I <br />Like Esop's self, which nothing. I confess <br />I should have had more faith, if thou hadst less. <br />Thy credit lost thy credit. 'Tis sin to do, <br />In this case, as thou wouldst be done unto, <br />To believe all. Change thy name ; thou art like <br />Mercury in stealing, but liest like a Greek.<br /><br />John Donne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mercurius-gallo-belgicus/
