Lesson showed how to chat with death. We brought
No brass fortissimo, among our talents,
To holler down the lions in this air.”

Full well I served my master for more than seven year,
Till I took up poaching, as you shall quickly hear:
Oh, ‘tis my delight on a shining night, in the season of the year.”
