"Cousin Francis," he said, "draw near to me." I approached him as he requested.—"I wish you only to know that the pangs of death do not alter I one iota of my feelings towards you. I hate you!" he said, the expression of rage throwing a hideous glare into the eyes which were soon to be closed for ever—"I hate you with a hatred as intense, now while I lie bleeding and dying before you, as if my foot trode on your neck."
"I have given you no cause, sir," I replied,—"and for your own sake I could wish your mind in a better temper."
"You have given me cause," he rejoined. "In love, in ambition, in the paths of interest, you have crossed and blighted me at every turn. I was born to be the honour of my father's house—I have been its disgrace—and all owing to you. My very patrimony has become yours—Take it," he said, "and may the curse of a dying man cleave to it!"

My congratulations. Relish this victory, knowing that you have but delayed the inevitable— Your world is already dead. May you enjoy an eternity... On its blackened husk.
Ultima to Clive Rosfield, Final Fantasy XVI
