    On wing impetuous, a black sullen soul . . .
    Less base the fear of death than fear of life.
    O Britain! infamous for suicide.

If suicide be supposed a crime, it is only cowardice can impel us
to it. If it be no crime, both prudence and courage should
engage us to rid ourselves at once of existence when it becomes a

every one his chance for happiness in life, and would effectually
free him from all danger or misery.

Who doubting tyranny, and fainting under
Fortune's false lottery, desperately run
To death, for dread of death; that soul's most stout,
That, bearing all mischance, dares last it out.

When Fannius from his foe did fly
Himself with his own hands he slew;
Who e'er a greater madness knew?

Our time is fixed, and all our days are number'd;
How long, how short, we know not:--this we know,
Duty requires we calmly wait the summons,
Nor dare to stir till Heaven shall give permission.
