For shouts of rude merriment follow his fall;

And when his assassin has killed him outright,

Some "wag" in the gallery bids him "good night."

The pathos of Trueman, though good of its sort,

Is met with proposals for cutting it short;

And Barnwell goes off to be hanged 'mid a cry

Of "shame," "turn him out," "serve him right" and "good-bye."

The pantomime now is awaited by all;

The house for the overture raises a call;

Confusion prevails, bits of orange-peel flit
