WYATT (Sir Thomas, the younger), 1520-1554. On the scaffold he said to the people: "Whereas it is said abroad that I should accuse my Lady Elizabeth's grace and my Lord Courtenay; it is not so, good people, for I assure you that neither they nor any other now yonder in bold endurance was privy of my rising a commotion before I began." Weston, his confessor, shouted, "Believe him not, good people! he confessed otherwise before the council." Wyatt answered: "_That which I said then I said, but that which I say now is true._" These were Wyatt's last words. WYCHERLEY (William, author of "The Plain-dealer," "The Country Wife," and several other comedies), 1640-1715. "_Promise me you will never again marry an old man_," said to his wife. When he was over seventy years old he married a young woman, but he survived his marriage only eleven days. XIMENES DE CISNEROS (Francisco, Spanish cardinal), 1719-1774. "_This is death._" YANCEY (William Lowndes, American politician, secessionist and commissioner to Europe to secure recognition of the Southern Confederacy. He was called "The Fire-Eater"), 1815-1863. "_Sarah_," his wife's name. YVART (J. A. Victor, called "The Arthur Young of France"), 1764-1831. "_Nature, how lovely thou art!_" ZANE (Giacomo, a Venetian poet), 1529-1560. "_I should like to live._" There is dispute about these words; some writers say his last words were: "I should _not_ like to live." ZEISBERGER (David, German missionary among the American Indians, author of a number of books in the language of the Delaware Indians), 1721-1808. "_I am going, my people, to rest from all my labors and to be at home with the Lord. He has never forsaken me in distress, and will not forsake me now. I have reviewed my whole life, and found that there is much to be forgiven._" ZENO, or ZENON (Greek philosopher and founder of the school of the Stoics), about B. C. 355--about B. C. 257. "_Earth, dost thou demand me? I am ready._" Last recorded words. The occasion of the philosopher's death is related as follows: "One day, as he was coming out of his school, he ran against some object and broke his finger; this he considered as an intimation from the gods that he must soon die; and, immediately striking the ground with his hand, he said, 'Earth, dost thou demand me? I am ready.' Instead of seeking to have his finger healed, he deliberately strangled himself. "He had taught publicly forty-eight years without intermission; and, reckoning from the time when he commenced his studies under Crates, the Cynic, he had devoted himself to philosophy for sixty-eight years."--_Fenelon._ ZIMMERMANN (Johann Georg von, eminent Swiss physician of the eighteenth century, and author of a famous essay on "Solitude"), 1728-1795. "_I am dying; leave me alone._" He was completely deranged for some time before his death.
