Ay, and the shudder takes me, I confess it,

At your calm certainty. You are no fool

And without ground would never dare so much.

But, howsoe’er it be, this thing is true—

I’m still alive, and I, yes I, shall show you

That I am skilled to render him obedience

Even in his death; there’s not a sole command

That he has given shall not be executed.

Such be the Dead Man’s sacrifice.

Soemus.
