'For Liberty, glorious Liberty,
Who 'd fear to die?'
Many thanks to you, sir, for your truly indefatigable efforts on my behalf, and the constant exercise of a skill that nearly secured us a Glorious Acquittal. What a Flame we would have raised in England! That should have blasted the enemies of True Freedom. I go to Hereafter (if, indeed, there be a hereafter), as we shall soon know, not with my soul crammed with Priestcraft, but a Bold Briton, having laid down my life for my country, knowing that Future Ages will do me Justice.
"Adieu, Tyrants, adieu! Do your worst!! My soul defies you!!!
"I am, Sir,
"Your humble, obliged, and
"undismayed servant,
"Arthur Grizzlegut
"To Caleb Quirk, Esq.
"'Tyrants grim,
Will, on the morrow, cut me limb from limb:—
While Liberty looks on with terrible eye,
And says, I will avenge him by-and-by.'
"Arthur Grizzlegut."
