Strona 28 - tis done, then 'twere well It were done quickly; if the assassination Could trammel up the consequence, and catch ' With his surcease success; that but this blow Might be the be-all and the end-all here, But here, upon this bank and shoal of time, We'd jump the life to come.

Strona 437 - Ton my honour,' he said to himself, ' the sort of life which this old peer has been leading for so many years seems not only to wear away all principles, but even to deprive the natural affections of tone and strength. Nothing on earth appears to make any impression upon him for more than half an hour, or an hour at the farthest ; and I have seen the same with many vicious old men. — It's worth while thinking of; for one wouldn't like to get into such a state one'self.
