Robespierre
Shakespeare
Tuesday, January 17, 2006
Once more befits it that the voice of Truth,
Fearless in innocence, though leagured round
By envy and her hateful brood of hell,
Be heard amid this hall; once more befits
The patriot, whose prophetic eye so oft
Has pierced thro' faction's veil, to flash on crimes
Of deadliest import.
