The Last Words (Real and Traditional) of Distinguished Men and Women
Marvin, Frederic Rowland
Last words
All I request of you, gentlemen, is that you bear witness, 12
All is well! 97
All is well, all is well--the Seed of God reigns over all, 101
All my life I have carried myself gracefully, 52
All my possessions for one moment of time, 91
Amazing, amazing glory! I am having Paul's understanding, 237
Amen, 48
An Emperor ought to die standing, 289
And must I then die? Will not all my riches save me? 25
Anderson, you know that I always wished to die, 199
Are the doctors here? 123
Are the French beaten? 199
Are we not children, all of us? 275
Artery ceases to beat, The, 122
Assatus est; jam versa et manduca, 161
"Asunder flies the man," 175
At least, I may die facing the enemy, 23
At rest at last. Now I am free from pain, 129
At the last hour God alone can give mortals comfort, 247
Away! Away! Why do you thus look at me? 26
Ay, Jesus! 62
Back, thou accursed phantom, 164
Be fruitful, 188
Be good, be virtuous, my lord, 176
Be of good comfort, brother, for we shall have a merry supper, 43
Be of good comfort, Master Ridley, and play the man, 161
Be quick about it, 22
Be serious, 119
Be thou everlasting, 246
Begone, thou wretched beast, 6
Begone, you and your trumpery; until this moment, 252
Behold then, the recompense reserved, 80
Beloved Bickus, the principle of existence and mutability, 110
Best of all is, God is with us, The, 300
Bishop ought to die on his legs, A, 313
Blessed be God, I have kept a conscience void of offence, 288
Blessed be God, though I change my place, 231
Body of Our Lord Jesus Christ, which was given, The, 232
Bring thy torch hither; do thine office before my face, 152
Brother, brother, strong evidences, nothing but strong evidences, 240
Brother Ranney, will you bury me? bury me? quick! quick! 153
But the consummate and perfect knowledge--, 249
Can this be considered a calamity? Well, they can, 318
Can this last long? 307
Carry my bones before you on your march, 88
Catholic faith is, to love God and to love man, The, 66
Christ also hath suffered for sins, 133
Christ Jesus the Saviour of sinners and life of the dead, 210
Clasp my hand, my dear friend, I die! 9
Close this eye, the other is closed already, 309
Come, my son, and see how a Christian can die, 126
Come to me, 85
Commend your souls to God, for our bodies are the foes! 198
Comme un dernier rayon, comme un dernier zephyre, 63
Contemplate the state in which I am fallen, and learn to die, 245
Crito, I owe a cock to AEsculapius, 260
Dear gentlemen, let me die, 110
Dear little fellow--he is a beautiful boy, 158
Death wins this time, 227
Debt! 189
Deep dream of peace, 142
Did I not say I was writing the Requiem for myself? 202
Did you know Burke? 256
Did you think I should live forever? 171
Do not let the Civil Rights bill fail! 270
Do you hear the music? 37
Don't let poor Nelly starve! 60
Domine! Domine! fac finem! fac finem! 98
