Legs And Tarpaulin (King Pest) |
| What do we have along the lines of GHASTLY? |
| Naught but six with their cups in the punch bowl! |
| Truncheon-bruised and exaggerated piece-parts |
| Moldy, motley, screeching family! |
| With sunken chests the rotting pests are |
| Bound and wrapped in funeral garments |
| Dropsy, gout, and fast consumption… |
| Red and dead, they’re seeping siblings! |
| «What screams from thee, we’re much surprised! |
| Calm thyself and thy leaping forehead! |
| Stow thy scowl and bulging eyes! |
| Royal blood should be far from frowning! |
| We shall join thee and imbibe! |
| We’ll sit and sip from a broken skull! |
| Hello, my dear, were you aware that your mouth stretches ear to ear?» |
| What do we have along the lines of POISON? |
| Naught but a barrel of the devil’s own Black Strap! |
| «One gallon each to stow in thy hold! |
| A mulct, that’s mild in nature!» |
| «I regret that my hull is weighted! |
| Humming stuff is the only ballast-» |
| «Belay that noise, I’ve room to spare! |
| I’ll drink yours down in a draught-and-a-half!» |
| «But wait, I’ve only now divined, King Pest is Timothy Hurlygurly! |
| Stage actors have taken this, an undertaker’s for their playhouse!» |
| «Ill-bred rogue! |
| You mock my throne! |
| A King’s decree cannot be altered! |
| Make them thrash and drown in the October beer in yonder hog’s head!» |
| Tarpaulin’s sunk to his ears! |
| And the tall one is thrashing about |
| Pulling down bones from a post-mortem chandalier! |
| One knock and dead-duke and bursting the barrel |
| And freeing his fat friend and death to the Pests! |
| They bend from the weight of the two royal sisters |
| They carry the Pest to their ship |
| And the sea will bathe corpses… |
| The buoyantly dead shall abound! |
