So, 'tis all ended--all except my boiling, And that will make a holiday for some. Perhaps I'm selfish. Fagot, axe, and gallows, They have their uses, after all. They giveThe lookers-on a deal of harmless sport. Though one may suffer, twenty hundred laugh;And that's a point gained. I have seen a man--Poor Dora's uncle--shake himself with glee, At the bare thought of the ridiculous styleIn which some villain died. "Dancing, " quoth he, "To the poor music of a single string!Biting, " quoth he, "af...ter his head was off!What use of that?" Or, "Shivering, " quoth he, "As from an ague, with his beard afire!"And then he'd roar until his ugly mouthSplit at the corners. But to see me boil--that will be the queerest thing of all!I wonder if they'll put me in a bag, Like a great suet-ball? I'll go, and tellCount Guido, on the instant. How he'll laughTo think his pot has got an occupant!I wonder if he really takes delightIn such amusements? Nay, I have kept faith;I only said the man was not Lanciotto;No word of Lanciotto's ugliness.
