’Twixt Heaven and earth, in open air,

His whole anatomy laid bare;

Normal and morbid all made known,

In soul and body, nerve and bone!

Since Satan would not let him stay

In realms which shun the light of day;

(Where he in torture would abide,

If he his deep disgrace could hide,)

Here pilloried in sight of men,

Impaled on my steel-pointed pen,
