It is a poor thought that at my time of life I should be advising you to choose the safe and shameful; and I take it back with an apology. Go and do your duty; and be hanged, if you must, like a gentleman. There are worse things in the world than to be hanged.

活到我这把年纪，竟还劝你选择安全却可耻的路，实在令人惭愧；我收回这话，并向你道歉。去尽你的责任吧；若非得上绞架，也要像个有尊严的人那样赴死。世上还有比被绞死更糟的事。
