Página 53 - Matthews's point so much out of the line, that I stepped up and caught hold of his wrist, or the hilt of his sword, while the point of mine was at his breast. You ran in and caught hold of my arm, exclaiming, ' Don't kill him.' I struggled to disengage my arm, and said his sword was in my power. Mr. Matthews called out twice or thrice, ' I beg my life !
Página 62 - Twas honest gratitude, at whose request Shamed be the heart that will not do its best. The time draws nigh when I must bid adieu To this delightful spot— nay, ev'n to you — To you, whose fost'ring kindness rear'd my name, O'erlooked my faults, but magnified my fame.
