Enough! my speech has been in vain,

Now bare that breast of yours again;

I will dissect it spite of fate,

Your prayers and groans are all too late;

My friends, take hold: he squirms and twists

And with such energy resists,

That I—’Tis well, you’ve got him fast,

And I have got my way at last!

But, ere I venture to dissect him,

My friends, I ask you to inspect him.
