Tulasidasa Charitam V Vol III Book IX Chp 13 Shlokas 17 - 18

तस्कर उवाच

भगवन् धनलेभेन पापबुद्धिसमन्वितः |

तावकं धनमादाय गृहं गच्छामि सत्वरम् ||

अग्रे दृष्ट्वा महावीरौ द्वारपौ खड्गधारिणौ |

अत्र तिष्ठामि भीतोsहं मां क्षमस्व कृपानिधे ||

The thief said

Oh! Bhagavan! Wicked and greedy as I am, I want to rush home collecting all your wealth. But I am prevented from doing it, by the dreadful sight of the two brave watchmen out there with swords. Please pardon me.
