The Last Words (Real and Traditional) of Distinguished Men and Women
Marvin, Frederic Rowland
Last words
I repent of my life except that part, 85
I resign my spirit to God; my daughter to my country, 152
I see earth receding; Heaven is opening; God is calling me, 198
I shall be glad to find a hole to creep out of the world at, 133
I shall be satisfied with thy likeness, 300
I shall gladly obey His call, 13
I shall hear in heaven, 28
I shall not live more than two days, therefore make haste, 313
I shall not long hesitate between conscience and the Pope, 29
I shall retire early; I am very tired, 177
I shall this day deceive the worms in Hadley churchyard, 275
I should like to live, 316
I should like to record the thoughts of a dying man, 24
I should not like to live, 316
I stand in the presence of my Creator, 134
I still live! 298
I strike my flag, 139
I suffer nothing, but feel a sort of difficulty of living longer, 101
I suffer the violence of pain and death, 41
I suppose I shall soon be a god, 289
I take God to witness I have preached, 144
I thank God that not a day of my life has been spent, 223
I thank thee, O my God and Saviour, 161
I thank you for all your faithful services; God bless you, 53
I think I shall die to-night, 244
I think you had better send for a doctor, 257
I thought dying had been harder, 172
I trust in the mercy of God, it is not now too late, 130
I want, oh, you know what I mean, the stuff of life, 274
I want to go away, 57
I want to go home, 300
I were miserable, if I might not die, 85
I will enter now into the house of the Lord, 171
I will have no rogue's son in my seat, 91
I will lie down on the couch, 64
I wish I had the power of writing, 73
I wish Vaughan to preach my funeral sermon, 266
I wish you to understand the true principles of government, 124
If he should slay me ten thousand times, 244
If I die, I die unto the Lord, Amen, 147
If I had strength to hold a pen I would write, 144
If I have been deceived, doubtless it was the work of a spirit, 261
If my husband has for his new wife no better gift, 261
If you think it will be of service, 123
If you love my soul, away with it! 135
Illi in extremis prae timore imhellis sudor, 289
In death at last let me rest with Abelard, 128
In me behold the end of the world, 258
Indeed, no more medicine, 99
Independence forever! 2
In life and in death, I am the Lord's, 147
"In manus tuos, Domine, commendo spiritum meum," 66
In the name of modesty, cover my bosom! 92
Is it not true, dear Hammel, that I have some talent after all? 28
Is Lawrence come?--Is Lawrence come? 106
Is not this dying with courage and true greatness? 31
Is there no priest at the chateau? 97
Is this death? 165
Is this death? 233
Is this dying? Is this all? Is this all that I feared? 187
It came with a lass, and it will go with a lass, 152
It grows dark, boys. You may go, 1
It is folly; they had better leave it alone, 273
It is a great consolation for a dying poet, 38
