While under sentence of death, Duce laid aside all that barbarity and stubbornness with which he had formerly behaved, with great frankness confessed all the villainies he had been guilty of, and at the place of execution delivered the following letter for the evidence Dyer, who as he said, had often cheated them of their shares of the money they took from passengers, and had now sworn away their lives.
The youth struck the note upon the tabourin his pipe followed, and off we bounded 'the duce take that slit! The sister of the youth, who had stolen her voice from heaven, sung alternately with her brother 'twas a Gascoigne roundelay. Viva la Joia! Fidon la Tristessa! The nymphs join'd in unison, and their swains an octave below them
. . . . Qui propria voglia, Son capo, son qui duce, son lor Prence. And another: . . . Whom shall we find Sufficient? . . . This enterprise None shall partake with me. A chi bastera l' anima di voi? . . . certo che quest' affare A la mia man s' aspetta. Milton's Terror is partially taken from the Megera of the Italian poet.
William Duce, of whom we are now to speak, was one of the most cruel and abandoned wretches that ever went on the road. He was born at Wolverhampton, but of what parents, or in what manner he lived until his coming up to London, I am not able to say.
On the Portsmouth Road it happened they fell upon one Mr. Bunch, near a wood side, where they robbed and stripped him naked; yet not thinking themselves secure, Duce turned and fired at his head. He took his aim so true that the bullet entered the man's cheek, upon which he fell with the agony of pain, turning his head downwards that the bullet might drop out of his mouth.
The best summary account of the poet's life and writings which I have met with is Ginguéné's, in the fifth volume of his Histoire Littéraire, &c.

Wadman had it ever to take up, or, with the gentlest pushings, protrusions, and equivocal compressions, that a hand to be removed is capable of receiving to get it press'd a hair breadth of one side out of her way. The duce take it! said my uncle Toby. These attacks of Mrs.
And so I had; for I did nothing but admire its Handy-work, but I cou'd not have pray'd heartily, if I had been dying; but a duce on't, who shou'd come in and spoil all but my Lover Charmante, so dress'd, so gallant, that he drew together all the scatter'd fragments of my Heart, confin'd my wandering Thoughts, and fixt 'em all on him: Oh, how he look'd, how he was dress'd!
Thus the titles of feudal lords were retained duce, comites, equites, milites with, all the paraphernalia of brute force which the harsh mind of northern despotism had made divine.
It is better than lying a-bed half the day, and junketing and card-playing all the night, and making yourselves wholly useless to every good purpose in your own families, as is now the fashion among ye. The duce take you all that do so, say I! Only that, thank my stars, I am a bachelor. Then this is a province you are admirably versed in: you grieve that it is taken from you here, you know.
