John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

699 William Shakespeare 1564-1616 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:699
AUTHOR:William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
QUOTATION:The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils;
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.
ATTRIBUTION:The Merchant of Venice. Act. v. Sc. 1.  [text]
