I am not prepared to meet my God, but still I feel that my career has been made to appear much worse than it really is. Oh, my lord, do have mercy on me; do give me one chance of repenting and of preparing to meet my God. Do, my lord, have mercy on me; and I assure you that you shall never repent it.
Burns succeeded in his love-making and succeeded in poetry, but at everything else he was a failure. He failed as a farmer, a father, a friend, in society, as a husband, and in business. From his twenty-third year his days were passed in sinning and repenting. Poetry and love-making should be carried on with caution: they form a terrific tax on life's forces.
Cecil Burleigh, repenting too late the vain presumption that had reckoned on her youth and ignorance, apart from the divining power of an honest soul, walked off to Norminster to rid himself of his heavy sense of mortification and discomfiture.
Perhaps he was repenting his rash outpourings of the previous day; perhaps only trying, in his clumsy way, to conform to Selden's counsel to behave "as usual."
"No," said Austen, with emphasis. "And what name, please?" "No name," said the donor, now heartily repenting of his rashness, and slamming the glass door in a manner that made the panes rattle behind him. As he stood hesitating on the curb of the crossing, he began to wish that he had not left Ripton.
These things poured themselves in upon my thoughts in a confused manner, and left me overwhelmed with melancholy and despair. Them I repented heartily of all my life past, but that repentance yielded me no satisfaction, no peace, no, not in the least, because, as I said to myself, it was repenting after the power of further sinning was taken away.
He was willing, at all costs, to do His will: consequently, the Lord sent him the glorious message of the revelation of Jesus Christ. I might go on multiplying instances, but I must stop. We have said enough to show who are to believe. Truly penitent sinners, and they only. This text is to a repenting, enlightened, convicted sinner.
The chemist's assistant had fallen ill and was lying at the point of death at a hospital, when, repenting of his crime, he sent to implore forgiveness of the man he had robbed. The judge, stricken with remorse, wrote at once to Vincent, offering to come and ask his pardon on his knees for the wrong he had done him.
Every friend of the family held it a matter of course that Jessica would succeed in the examination. It seemed probable that she would have a place in Honours. And, meanwhile, the poor girl herself was repenting of the indiscreet boastfulness with which she had made known her purpose. To come out in an inferior class would be painful enough; how support the possibility of absolute failure?
Afterwards he recognises what it is that he ought to have done; and, sincerely repenting of his incorrect behaviour, he thinks to himself, If the opportunity were offered to me again, I should act differently. It is offered once more; the same occasion recurs; and to his great astonishment he does precisely the same thing over again. World as Will, ii., pp. 251 ff. sqq.
