22. AN ENIGMA
“Charles the First walked and talked,
Half an hour after his head was cut off.”
Old Couplet.
Cut off my head, I’m every inch a King,
A warrior formed to deal a heavy blow.
Halve what remains, my second is a thing
Which nothing but my third can e’er make go.
My third will vary as you take your line.
This less than human, that way all divine!
