=Fault--Faults.=

Condemn the fault, and not the actor of it?
686
SHAKS.: _M. for M.,_ Act ii., Sc. 2.

Dare to be true: nothing can need a lie;
A fault which needs it most, grows two thereby.

HERBERT: _The Church Porch._

In vain my faults ye quote;
I write as others wrote
On Sunium's hight.

WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR: _The Last Fruit of an Old Tree,_ Epigram cvi.


=Favor.=

Poor wretches, that depend
On greatness' favor, dream as I have done;
Wake, and find nothing. But, alas, I swerve.
Many dream not to find, neither deserve,
And yet are steep'd in favors.

SHAKS.: _Cymbeline,_ Act v., Sc. 4.
