Of enemy hath beguiled thee, yet unknown,
And me with thee hath ruined.

Milton.

Led Eve, our credulous mother, to the Tree
Of Prohibition, root of all our woe.

Milton.

Though fraud in all other actions be odious, yet in matters of war it is laudable and glorious, and he who overcomes his enemies by stratagem is as much to be praised as he who overcomes them by force.
