Vast empty shell!
Impertinent, preposterous abortion!
With vacant stare,
And ragged hair,
And every feature out of all proportion!
Embodiment of echoing inanity!
Excellent type of simpering insanity!
Unwieldy, clumsy nightmare of humanity!
I ring thy knell!
To-night thou diest,
Beast that destroy'st my heaven-born identity!
Nine weeks of nights,

I've been ill-treated, cursed, and thrashed diurnally,
Credited for the smile you wear externally -I feel disposed to smash thy face, infernally,
As there thou liest!

A nine weeks' run,
And thou hast
All thou canst do to make thyself inimical.

Excellent type of simpering insanity!
Unwieldy, clumsy nightmare of humanity!
