- author: The poet Treherne in G.K. Chesterton's The Trees of Pride
- content: Show... when you next sit in judgement, a little mercy to some wretched man
- who drinks and robs because he must drink beer to taste it, and take it to drink
- it. Have compassion on the next batch of poor thieves, who have to hold things in
- order to have them. But if you ever find me [the poet] stealing one small farthing,
- when I can shut my eyes and see the city of El Dorado, then ... show me no mercy,
- for I shall deserve none.
