Excerpt from Eulogium Upon William Rawle, L. L. D: Delivered on the 31st of December, 1836

The vicious, upon the contrary, however they may be surrounded by splendour - however they may be lulled by ¿attery, or soothed by the acclamations of tributary thousands - can never know repose. The grave yawns before them in their daily walks - the sword of Damocles, suspended by a single hair, hangs above them in their nightly slumbers - the ghosts of departed hours, departed never to return, dedicated as they may have been to selfish aggrandisement, to nu holy exactions, to cruelty and oppression, Flit through the fevered brain in endless horror, Till nought remains of life but fear of death.
