Such is Life [Executed by hanging.]
Ned Kelly
But I am a Widow’s Son, outlawed and my orders must be obeyed.
Ned Kelly
I do not pretend that I have led a blameless life, or that one fault justifies another, but the public in judging a case like mine should remember that the darkest life may have a bright side...
Ned Kelly
Ah well, I suppose it has come to this... Such is life.
Ned Kelly
I do not wish to give the order full force without giving timely warning but I am a Widow’s Son, outlawed and my orders must be obeyed.
Ned Kelly
If my lips teach the public that men are made mad by bad treatment, and if the police are taught that they may exasperate to madness men they persecute and ill treat, my life will not be entirely thrown away.
Ned Kelly
