"With breathless speed, like a soul in chase, I took him up and ran;— There was no time to dig a grave Before the day began: In a lonesome wood, with heaps of leaves, I hid the murdered man! "And all that day I read in school, But my thought was other where...
Página 22 - I labour, not with guilt, my lord, but with perplexity. For, having never seen a court but this, — being wholly unacquainted with law, the customs of the bar, and all judiciary proceedings...
Página 24 - Besides, it must needs occur to every one, that an action of this atrocious nature is never heard of but when its springs are laid open, it appears that it was to support some indolence, or supply some luxury; to satisfy some avarice, or oblige some malice; to prevent some real, or some imaginary want: yet I lay not under the influence of any one of these.
