treason, n.All

Treason pleases, but not the traitor.

Treason seldom dwells with courage.

Treason is like diamonds; there is nothing to be made by the small trader.

Treason begins by being cautious and ends by betraying itself.

Treason must be made odious.

Treason is greatest where trust is greatest.

Treason is but trusted like the fox; Who, ne’er so tame, so cherished, and lock’d up, Will have a wild trick of his ancestors.

Treason is not own’d when ’tis descried; Successful crimes alone are justified. -.
