Prepared

How can a candidate be "duly and truly" prepared if they are supposed to know nothing about the experience to begin with?

Nips His Root

So farewell to the little good you bear me.  Farewell? a long farewell to all my greatness!

This is the state of man today he puts forth the tender leaves of hopes, tomorrow blossoms, and bears his blushing honors thick upon him; the third day comes a frost, a killing frost, and when he thinks good easy man, full surely

His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root, and then he falls as I do.

Undiscovered Country

"the undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns..."

Ashlar

What does it take to built a wall with varying sizes, shapes, and colors of ashlars?

Liar!

Many people lie to avoid accountability.  Some continue to lie even after they have been caught!

After lamenting their guilt, why do you think the ruffians did not continue to lie in order to avoid accontability?

Worthy?

Is he worthy and well qualified?

What is a candidate worth?

Naphtali

If Hiram's mother was a "daughter of Dan," and his father was a man of Tyre,

How does that make Hiram from the tribe of Naphtali?
