Stop me, good people! Don't you see My temper is running away with me? Help, Master Commonsense! Are you afraid? Good Mistress Prudence, come to my aid! Stop me, Conscience! Stop me, I pray! My temper, my temper is running away! Dear Brother Kindness, snatch after the reins! Help, or my temper will dash out my brains! Help, or I'll get a terrible fall!
