3.15 Lord Camden (Charles Pratt, Earl Camden) 1714-94
Taxation and representation are inseparable...whatever is a man’s own, is absolutely his own;
no man hath a right to take it from him without his consent either expressed by himself or
representative; whoever attempts to do it, attempts an injury; whoever does it, commits a robbery;
he throws down and destroys the distinction between liberty and slavery.
Speech in the House of Lords, on the taxation of Americans by the British parliament, ‘Hansard’ 10 February
1766, col. 177.
3.16 William Camden 1551-1623
A gentleman falling off his horse brake his neck ... A good friend made this good epitaph...
My friend, judge not me,
Thou seest I judge not thee.
Betwixt the stirrup and the ground
Mercy I asked, mercy I found.

Giraffes!—a People
Who live between the earth and skies,
Each in his lone religious steeple,
Keeping a light-house with his eyes.

You praise the firm restraint with which they write—
I’m with you there, of course:
They use the snaffle and the curb all right,
But where’s the bloody horse?

3.19 Thomas Campbell 1777-1844

And the boldest held his breath
For a time.
