He hath a share of man's intelligence, but no share of man's falsehood.

You may bribe a soldier to slay a man with his sword, or a witness to take life by false accusation; but you cannot make a hound tear his benefactor.

He is the friend of man, save when man justly incurs his enmity.

Dress yonder marquis in what peacock-robes you will, disguise his appearance, alter his complexion with drugs and washes, hide him amidst a hundred men,--I will yet pawn my sceptre that the hound detects him, and expresses his resentment, as you have this day beheld.

This is no new incident, although a strange one.
