He was now reapinx the harvest he had sown. and neither repentance. nor piety. nor religious fervour. were of any avail against the natural and memorable law. He recalled the words he had used: T will not consider myself absoived from my oath till he is dead"

And what right had he to liver His life had been forfeit for many years So long as. he could do good in the world. it was perhaps allowable for him to put off the day of his death But he was of no more use for the work he had set himself to do Both brain and body were giving way.
