I know not
whether laws be right

:46:20
Or whether laws be wrong
:46:22
All that we know who lie in gaol
:46:24
Is that the wall is strong
:46:26
And that each day is like a year
:46:29
A year whose days are long
:46:36
Yet each man kills
the thing he loves

:46:39
By each, let this be heard
:46:41
Some do it with a bitter look
:46:44
Some with a flattering word
:46:47
The coward does it with a kiss
:46:49
The brave man with a sword
:46:54
Some kill their love
when they are young

:46:57
And some when they are old
:46:59
Some strangle
with the hands of lust

:47:02
Some with the hands of gold
:47:05
The kindest use a knife
:47:07
Because the dead so soon
grow cold.

:47:19
I'm sure we can find
:47:21
an hotel near here.
:47:25
Somewhere where
you can work.

:47:35
I've decided to see him
again, Robbie.

:47:37
Yes.
:47:38
I thought you might.
:47:41
I've nothing left.
:47:43
I've lost my wife.
:47:46
I've lost my children.
:47:49
They won't allow me
to see them now.

:47:51
No-one will ever read my plays
or books again.

:47:55
Yes, they will.
:47:56
Bosie loves me more than
he loves anyone else.
