Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Laurence Sterne, in Eight Volumes, Vol. 1 of 8 So! - this is Wisdom - to insult the Dead; Heap fancied Crimes, upon a mortal's Head: Well - be it so: - such Wisdom - and such Art Shall never never - shall approach my Heart. Whatever Yorick's Lot, in whate'er State, Id' gladly risk it in the Hour of Fate, Sooner than joinwith thee! - I would say rather Unto Corruption - Thou shall't be my Father. "Be thine the avenging Angel's Lot, decreed "To point each Fault, and aggravate each deed: "Angel of Mercy! - thy sweet Talk be mine "To blot them ere they reach the Throne divine!" Yorick, farewell! Peace dwell around thy Stone; Accept this Tribute from a Friend unknown. In human Breasts, while Pity has a Claim, Le Fevre's Story shall enhance thy Fame; Toby's Benevolence each Heart expand, And faithful Trim confess the Master's Hand. "One generous Tear unto the Monk you gave; "Oh let me weed this Nettle from thy Grave!" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
