The time 's arrived when, ancient Roman-like,
I am bound to fall on my own sword, --- why not
Say --- Tuscan-like, more ancient, better still?

RB's morbid humor..
"Why, grant there seems a kind of cruelty
In downright stabbing people he could maim,
(If so you stigmatize the stern and strict)
Still, Guido meant no cruelty --- all he craved
Was, they should fray the faces of the folk,
Merely disfigure, nowise make them die.
... he owns no more,
... than that he desired,
... that they hack
And hew, i' the customary phrase, his wife,
... and no harm beside."
