The Master Key (1901)
Context: Familiarity with any great thing removes our awe of it. The great general is only terrible to the enemy; the great poet is frequently scolded by his wife; the children of the great statesman clamber about his knees with perfect trust and impunity; the great actor who is called before the curtain by admiring audiences is often waylaid at the stage door by his creditors.
“The good needs fear no law,
It is his safety and the bad man's awe.”
The Old Law (c. 1615–18; printed 1656), with Thomas Middleton and William Rowley.
