Dark clouds come o'er my eyes—farewell, good night!

Good night! my mighty soul's inclined to roam,

So make my compliments to all at home. [Lies down by the King.

Fusbos. And o'er thy grave a monument shall rise,

Where heroes yet unborn shall feast their eyes;

And this short epitaph that speaks thy fame,

Shall also there immortalize my name:—

"Here lies Bombastes, stout of heart and limb,

Who conquered all but Fusbos—Fusbos him."
