Summary
I am given up by traitors,
I talk wildly, I have lost my wits, I and nobody else am the
greatest traitor,
I went myself first to the headland, my own hands carried me
there.

All goes onward and outward, nothing collapses,
And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier.

Summary
The greed that eats me day and night with hungry gnaw, till I saturate what shall produce boys to fill my place when I am through,
The wholesome relief, repose, content,
And this bunch pluck’d at random from myself,
It has done its work—I tossed it carelessly to fall where it may.

Summary
The learn'd, virtuous, benevolent, and the usual terms,
A man like me and never the usual terms.Neither a servant nor a master I,
I take no sooner a large price than a small price, I will have my
own whoever enjoys me,
I will be even with you and you shall be even with me.
