A Bank Fraud Poem by Rudyard Kipling
A Bank Fraud
He drank strong waters and his speech was coarse;
He purchased raiment and forbore to pay';
He stuck a trusting junior with a horse,
And won gymkhanas in a doubtful way.
Then 'twixt a vice and folly, turned aside
To do good deeds and straight to cloak them, lied.
Ah, little old-fashioned language, but still very nice to read it again, A Bank Fraud, what a time ago, now other forms of bank fraud are emerging. Congratulations on choosing the classic poem of the day.5 Stars.
Wonderful depiction of the mental state of the fraudster. Well deserved classic poem of the day.
Then 'twixt a vice and folly, turned aside To do good deeds and straight to cloak them, lied. /// there many mystery are hidden in the good deeds of a fraud, a liar; maybe these good deeds are trap of virtuous lives destruction; so there are no need to be happy or to do praise if we find any good deed of a by born liar or fraud! rather it needs to keep on observation!
Then 'twixt a vice and folly, turned aside To do good deeds and straight to cloak them, lied. /// to do good deeds need to be good minded
