The Saint and the Hunchback
| Hunchback. Stand up and lift your hand and bless | | A man that finds great bitterness | | In thinking of his
lost renown. | | A Roman Caesar is held down | | Under this hump. | | | | | | Saint. God tries each man | | According to
a different plan. | | I shall not cease to bless because | | I lay about me with the taws | | That night and morning
I may thrash | | Greek Alexander from my flesh, | | Augustus Caesar, and after these | | That great rogue Alcibiades. | | | | | | Hunchback. To all that in your flesh have stood | | And blessed, I give my gratitude, | | Honoured by all in
their degrees, | | But most to Alcibiades. |
