Good name in man and woman, dear my lord, Is the immediate jewel of their souls Who steals my purse steals trash 'tis something, nothing 'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands But he that filches from me my good name Robs me of that which not enriches him And makes me poor indeed.

William Shakespeare

1564-1616 was an English poet, playwright and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's greatest dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of approximately 37 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.

    Here is the translation of the text into Spanish: Un buen nombre en hombre y mujer, querido mi lord, Es la joya inmediata de sus almas. Quien roba mi bolsa roba basura; es algo, nada. Era mío, es suyo, y ha sido esclavo de miles. Pero aquel que me quita mi buen nombre Me roba de aquello que no lo enriquece Y me hace realmente pobre.

    bon nom dans l'homme et la femme, cher mon seigneur, est le joyau immédiat de leurs âmes qui vole mon sac à main vole des ordures 'c'est quelque chose, rien' était le mien ', c'est le sien, et a été esclave de milliers mais celui qui me dépouille mon la bonne réputation me prive de ce qui ne l'enrichit pas et me rend pauvre en effet.

    पुरुष और महिला का अच्छा नाम, मेरे स्वामी, उनकी आत्मा का तात्कालिक गहना है, जो मेरे पर्स चुराते हैं, 'कचरा कुछ खाते हैं, कुछ भी नहीं करते हैं,' मेरा है, 'उसका है, और वह हजारों की गुलाम है, लेकिन वह मेरी तरफ से फिल्माता है' अच्छा नाम मुझे लूटता है जो उसे समृद्ध नहीं करता है और मुझे वास्तव में गरीब बनाता है।

    Доброе имя в мужчине и женщине, дорогой мой господин, является непосредственной жемчужиной их душ, которые крадут мой кошелек, крадут мусор "что-то, ничто", мое, это его, и был рабом тысяч, но тот, кто забирает у меня мой доброе имя лишает меня того, что не обогащает его и делает меня действительно бедным.
