et quae clam facias facta referre palam?

opposita populum summovet ante sera;

commissi perages indiciumque tui?- Translation by Christopher Marlowe

And hidden secrets openlie to bewray?
The strumpet with the stranger will not do,
Before the roome be deere, and doore put too.
Will you make shipwracke of your honest name,
And let the world be witnesse of the same?
