From A Rough Diamond: A Comic Drama in One Act by John Baldwin Buckstone

I pity you from my heart. If you have lost a treasure, you should see the one that I have found. (BLEN: You are married, I hear.) Yes, I also formed an attachment to a young girl that I idolised. You have known me some years--that is to say, I was leaving college shortly after you entered, and you know how I have ever prized education--that it has been my watchword, my constant theme when I had a seat in Parliament. I don't sit now, but that's not my fault; but when I did sit, my constant agitation was education. "Educate," said I, "educate! that is the panacea for every social evil!" (BLEN: I've read your speeches.) You should have heard them--will you hear one now?
