halter (v.)
No man e'er felt the halter draw,
With good opinion of the law.
They that marry ancient people, merely in expectation to bury them, hang themselves in hope that one will come and cut the halter.
Now fitted the halter, now traversed the cart,
And often took leave, but was loth to depart.
Blandishments will not fascinate us, nor will threats of a "halter" intimidate. For, under God, we are determined that wheresoever, whensoever, or howsoever we shall be called to make our exit, we will die free men.
