Rogues, would you live forever?

Summary

This quote encapsulates a rhetorical question aimed at rogues or individuals who engage in dishonest or immoral behavior. The short query implies that living forever would not justify or absolve their actions. It suggests that despite the allure of eternal life or fame, the immoral choices they make would continue to darken their existence. Ultimately, it questions the true value of immortality when one's actions are tainted by deceit or wickedness.

The boy was lying, fast asleep, on a rude bed upon the floor; so pale with anxiety, and sadness, and the closeness of his prison, that he looked like death; not death as it shews in shroud and coffin, but in the guise it wears when life has just departed; when a young and gentle spirit has, but an instant, fled to Heaven: and the gross air of the world has not had time to breathe upon the changing dust it hallowed.
