ran away from home with the circus,Having fallen in love with Mademoiselle Estralada,The lion tamer.One time, having starved the lionsFor more than a day,I entered the cage and began to beat BrutusAnd Leo and Gypsy.Whereupon Brutus sprang upon me,And killed me.On entering these regionsI met a shadow who cursed me,And said it served me right. . . .It was Robespierre!
