RIDWAY robb'd DUNCOTE of three hundred pound, <br />Ridway was ta'en, arraign'd, condemn'd to die; <br />But, for this money, was a courtier found, <br />Begg'd Ridway's pardon: Duncote now doth cry, <br />Robb'd both of money, and the law's relief, <br />'The courtier is become the greater thief.'<br /><br />Ben Jonson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-a-robbery/
