Chapter 32 No.32

"Didst thou, or didst thou not? Just tell me, friend!

Not that my conscience may be satisfied,

I never for a moment doubted thee-

But that I may have wherewithal in hand

To turn against them when they point at thee:

A whip to flog them with-a rock to crush-

Thy word-thy simple downright 'No, I did not.'
