Good name in man and woman, dear my lord,
'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands;
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him,
And makes me poor indeed.
Othello Act 3, scene 3, 155–161 .Shakespeare
Is the immediate jewel of their souls.
Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing;'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands;
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him,
And makes me poor indeed.
...................................................................
El buen nombre de un hombre y una mujer, mi querido señor, es la joya inmediata de sus almas.
Quien roba mi bolso, roba basura: esto es algo, nada.
Pero el que roba mi buen nombre de mi, me roba algo que no lo enriquece a él y a mí me hace en efecto, pobre.
