High-erected Thoughts Seated In The Heart Of

Fear Is The Underminer Of All Determinations; And Necessity, The Victorious Rebel Of All Laws.

To Be Rhymed To Death As Is Said To Be Done In Ireland.

Courage Ought To Be Guided By Skill, And Skill Armed By Courage. Neither Should Hardiness Darken Wit, Nor Wit Cool Hardiness. Be Valiant As Men Despising Death, But Confident As Unwonted To Be Overcome.

With A Tale, Forsooth, He Cometh Unto You; With A Tale Which Holdeth Children From Play, And Old Men From The Chimney Corner.

It Is No Less Vain To Wish Death Than It Is Cowardly To Fear It.
