Strana 195 - No matter where. Of comfort no man speak: Let's talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs; Make dust our paper, and with rainy eyes Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth; Let's choose executors and talk of wills : And yet not so — for what can we bequeath Save our deposed bodies to the ground?
Strana 338 - I have before said, the moment the very name of Ireland is mentioned, the English seem to bid adieu to common feeling, common prudence, and common sense, and to act with the barbarity of tyrants and the fatuity of idiots.
Strana 107 - Majesty's forces, to punish all persons acting, ordering, or in any way assisting in the said rebellion, according to martial law, either by death or otherwise, as to them should seem expedient, and did by his proclamation of the same date ratify the same.
Strana 82 - Mr. Emmet, you have stated the views of the executive to be very liberal and very enlightened, and I believe yours were so; but let me ask you, whether it was not intended to cut off (in the beginning of the contest) the leaders of the opposition party by a summary mode, such as assassination : my reason for asking you is, John Sheares' proclamation, the most terrible paper that ever appeared in any country : it says, that "many of your tyrants have bled, and others must bleed", &c.
Strana 237 - A Protestant King of Ireland, A Protestant Parliament, A Protestant Hierarchy. Protestant Electors and Government, The Benches of Justice, The Army and the Revenue, Through all their Branches and Details, Protestant: And this System Supported by a Connection with the Protestant Realm of Britain.
Strana 22 - My Lords— Here, in the presence of this legal court, this crowded auditory — in the presence of the Being that sees and witnesses, and directs this judicial tribunal, — here, my lords, I, myself, in the presence of God, declare, I take the oath.
Strana 22 - I, AB, in the presence of God, do pledge myself to my country, that I will use all my abilities and influence in the attainment of an impartial and adequate representation...
Strana 493 - I heard the sound of the first shovelful of earth that was thrown on the coffin, and I remember little else of what passed on that sad occasion. I was told afterwards that poor Harry stood where I left him at the place of execution, and watched me until I was out of sight ; that he then attempted to speak to the people, but that the noise of the trampling of the horses was so great that it was impossible he should be heard ; that he then resigned himself to his fate, and the multitude who were present...
Strana 181 - Circumstances which cannot be controuled have decided that my name must be embodied in history. From the manner in which even my political adversaries and some of my contemporary historians, unequivocally hostile to my principles, already speak of me, I have the consolation of reflecting, that when the falsehoods of the day are withered and rotten, I shall be respected and esteemed, you, sir, will probably be forgotten, when I shall be remembered with...
Strana 158 - I know too that my opinion is unbiased, since, from peculiar causes, there were no relations between us beyond those of mere civility. Thomas Addis Emmet, in head and in heart, and in no vulgar sense of the term, was a great man ; and as an orator, with the single exception of Burke, unsurpassed by any that his country has produced.
