The Last Words (Real and Traditional) of Distinguished Men and Women
Marvin, Frederic Rowland
Last words
To sleep--to die, 305
Toffro il tuo proprio Figlio, 192
Trotter will tell you, 101
Trust in God and you need not fear, 89
Under the feet of my friars, 85
Ungrateful traitors! 187
Useless! Useless! 39
Very little meat for the mustard, 134
Vex me not with this thing, but give me a simple cross, 55
Vos plaudite, 19
Wally, what is this? It is death, my boy, 112
Water, 116
Water, 283
We are all going to heaven, and Vandyke is of the company, 106
We are ready--soldiers, fire! 78
We part to meet again, I hope, in endless joy, 137
We return no more, 242
We shall not lose our lives in this fire, 214
We shall then desire nothing, 42
We will endeavor to crawl to this line, 136
We will go to Jerusalem, 171
Weep not for me, 6
Weep not for me, but for yourselves, 48
Welcome the Cross of Christ, welcome everlasting life, 246
Well! God's will be done. He knows best, 289
Well, ladies, if I were one hour in heaven, 186
Well, my friend, what news from the Great Mogul? 201
Well, my God, I consent with all my heart, 171
Were the Church of Christ what she should be, 53
Were you at Sedan? 206
What an idle piece of ceremony, 43
What! art thou, too, one of them! Thou, my son! 52
What can it signify? 70
What I cannot utter with my mouth, 232
What is that? 268
When I am dead, my children, 74
When I think of the existence which shall commence, 55
When nature has abandoned an unhappy victim, 192
While there is life, there is will, 44
Who is near me? 64
Why, certainly, certainly! 274
Why dost thou not strike? Strike! 233
Why weep ye? Did you think that I could live forever? 271
Will no one have pity on me? Here, fire here! 288
Will you tell the archdeacon? 9
With all my heart: I would fain be reconciled to my stomach, 98
Whose house is this? What street are we in? 47
Wonderful, wonderful, this death, 98
Worst is I cannot see, The, 273
Write the word "Remorse"; show it to me, 234
Yes! 102
Yes! 176
Yes, it would be rash to say that they have no reasons, 56
Yes, yes, sing that for me, 288
Yes, comme un damne, 273
Yet I was once your emperor, 293
You are fighting for an earthly crown, 107
You are good fellows, but you can do nothing for me, 23
You make me drink. Pray leave me quiet, 62
You may go home, the show is over, 79
You need not be anxious concerning to-night, 58
You see what is man's life, 110
You will show my head to the people, 77
Young man, keep your record--, 115
Young man, you have heard no doubt, how great are the terrors, 22
