There is none of you but will hang me, I know, whenever you can clinch me within your power.

In an honest service there is thin commons, low wages, and hard labor in this, plenty and satiety, pleasure and ease, liberty and power and who would not balance creditor on this side, when all the hazard that is run for it, at worst, is only a sour look or two at choking. No, a merry life and a short one, shall be my motto.

A merry life and a short one shall be my motto.
