The Treason Of Which I Stand Convicted

A National Flag Is The Most Sacred Thing A Nation Can Possess

A Good Government May, Indeed, Redress The Grievances Of An Injured People; But A Strong People Can Alone Build Up A Great Nation.

I Now Bid Farewell To The Country Of My Birth - Of My Passions - Of My Death; A Country Whose Misfortunes Have Invoked My Sympathies - Whose Factions I Sought To Quell - Whose Intelligence I Prompted To A Lofty Aim - Whose Freedom Has Been My Fatal Dream.

A Jury Of My Countrymen, It Is True, Have Found Me Guilty Of The Crime Of Which I Stood Indicted. For This I Entertain Not The Slightest Feeling Of Resentment Towards Them.

But It So Happens, And It Will Ever Happen So, That They Who Have Lived To Serve Their Country - No Matter How Weak Their Efforts May Have Been - Are Sure To Receive The Thanks And Blessings Of Its People.
