Corruptly Incorruptible
CHARLES THE SECOND once said to Sidney, Look me out a man that can't be
corrupted: I have sent three treasurers to the North, and they have all
turned thieves.--Well, sire, I will recommend Mivert.--Mivert!
exclaimed the king, why, Mivert is a thief already.--Therefore he
cannot be corrupted, your majesty, answered Sidney.
