That I might live alone once with my gold!  
  O, 'tis a sweet companion! kind and true:  
  A man may trust it when his father cheats him,  
  Brother, or friend, or wife. O wondrous pelf!  
  That which makes all men false, is true itself.
The Dramatic Works of Ben Jonson, and Beaumont and Fletcher (ed. 1811)
