Samuel Butler (poet) Quote

He that imposes an oath makes it,
Not he that for convenience takes it;
Then how can any man be said
To break an oath he never made?


Canto II, line 377. - Hudibras Part II (1664)


He that imposes an oath makes it, Not he that for convenience takes it; Then how can any man be said To break an oath he never made?

He that imposes an oath makes it, Not he that for convenience takes it; Then how can any man be said To break an oath he never made?

He that imposes an oath makes it, Not he that for convenience takes it; Then how can any man be said To break an oath he never made?

He that imposes an oath makes it, Not he that for convenience takes it; Then how can any man be said To break an oath he never made?
