I cannot bear it! Said the pewter soldier. I have shed pewter tears! It is too melancholy! Rather let me go to the wars and lose arms and legs! It would at least be a change. I cannot bear it longer!

I say and I know having put it to the proof, that he has the better part in heaven whose death falls nearest his birth Picture Quote #1
