Turn, gentle Hermit of the Dale, And guide my lonely way To where yon taper cheers the vale With hospitable ray.

Crimes generally punish themselves.
Aspiring beggary is wretchedness itself.
Surely the best way to meet the enemy is head on in the field and not wait till they plunder our very homes.
