This is a sharp medicine, but a sure remedy, 233
This is a struggle which all men must go through, 313
This is death, 316
This is not my home, 16
This is the toilette of death, 68

Well, my friend, what news from the Great Mogul? 201
Well, my God, I consent with all my heart, 171
Were the Church of Christ what she should be, 53
Were you at Sedan? 206
What an idle piece of ceremony, 43
What! art thou, too, one of them! Thou, my son! 52
What can it signify? 70
What I cannot utter with my mouth, 232
What is that? 268
When I am dead, my children, 74
When I think of the existence which shall commence, 55
When nature has abandoned an unhappy victim, 192
While there is life, there is will, 44
Who is near me? 64
Why, certainly, certainly! 274
Why dost thou not strike? Strike! 233
Why weep ye? Did you think that I could live forever? 271
Will no one have pity on me? Here, fire here! 288
Will you tell the archdeacon? 9
With all my heart: I would fain be reconciled to my stomach, 98
Whose house is this? What street are we in? 47
Wonderful, wonderful, this death, 98
Worst is I cannot see, The, 273
Write the word "Remorse"; show it to me, 234
Yes! 102
Yes! 176
Yes, it would be rash to say that they have no reasons, 56
Yes, yes, sing that for me, 288
Yes, comme un damné, 273
Yet I was once your emperor, 293
You are fighting for an earthly crown, 107
You are good fellows, but you can do nothing for me, 23
You make me drink. Pray leave me quiet, 62
You may go home, the show is over, 79
You need not be anxious concerning to-night, 58
You see what is man's life, 110
You will show my head to the people, 77
Young man, keep your record--, 115
Young man, you have heard no doubt, how great are the terrors, 22
