I abhor your treason ; and am so far from delivering up this island to your advantage, that I will keep it, to the utmost of my power, to your destruction. Take this for your final answer ; and forbear any further solicitations. For, if you trouble me with any more messages on this occasion, I will burn the paper and hang the bearer.

108 ÆäÀÌÁö - Am I to set my life upon a throw, Because a bear is rude and surly ? No — A moral, sensible and well-bred man Will not affront me ; and no other can.
