ALFRED。

Don't ask me。  I have not a choice�察�my dear John。 Besides�察�shall I own a strange sort of desire�察�Before I extinguish forever the fire Of youth and romance�察�in whose shadowy light Hope whisper'd her first fairy tales�察�to excite The last spark�察�till it rise�察�and fade far in that dawn Of my days where the twilights of life were first drawn By the rosy�察�reluctant auroras of Love�察�In short�察�from the dead Past the gravestone to move�察�Of the years long departed forever to take One last look�察�one final farewell�察�to awake The Heroic of youth from the Hades of joy�察�And once more be�察�though but for an hour�察�Jacka boy��

JOHN。

Nonsense��

ALFRED。

           Not wholly。  The man who gets up A fill'd guest from the banquet�察�and drains off his cup�察�Sees the last lamp extinguish'd with cheerfulness�察�goes Well contented to bed�察�and enjoys its repose。 But he who hath supp'd at the tables of kings�察�And yet starved in the sight of luxurious things�察�Who hath watch'd the wine flow�察�by himself but half tasted�察�Heard the music�察�and yet miss'd the tune�察�who hath wasted One part of life's grand possibilities��friend�察�That man will bear with him�察�be sure�察�to the end�察�A blighted experience�察�a rancor within�此�You may call it a virtue�察�I call it a sin。

JOHN。

I see you remember the cynical story Of that wicked old piece Experiencea hoary Lothario�察�whom dying�察�the priest by his bed ��Knowing well the unprincipled life he had led�察�And observing�察�with no small amount of surprise�察�Resignation and calm in the old sinner's eyes�� Ask'd if he had nothing that weigh'd on his mind�此 �Well�察 � 。 。 no�察─ � 。 。 says Lothario�察 �I think not。  I find�察�On reviewing my life�察�which in most things was pleasant�察�I never neglected�察�when once it was present�察�An occasion of pleasing myself。  On the whole�察�I have naught to regret�察─ � 。 。 and so�察�smiling�察�his soul Took its flight from this world。

ALFRED。

                                 Well�察�Regret or Remorse�察�Which is best��

JOHN。

               Why�察�Regret。

ALFRED。

JOHN。

Bref� �you mean�察�then�察�to go��

ALFRED。
