    Just as the felon condemn'd to die--
    With a very natural loathing--
    Leaving the sheriff to dream of ropes,
    From his gloomy cell in a vision elopes,
    To caper on sunny greens and slopes,
    Instead of the dance upon nothing.

Swiftly our pleasures glide away,
Our hearts recall the distant day
With many sighs.

It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
