An Evil Soul, Producing Holy Witness,
Is Like A Villain With A Smiling Cheek,
A Goodly Apple Rotten At The Heart.
The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.
An evil soul, producing holy witness,
Is like a villain with a smiling cheek,
A goodly apple rotten at the heart.
O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!
-- William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
-- The Merchant of Venice (1596-1598) act 1, sc. 3
