Yet each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard;
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word;
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword.“Some kill their love when they are young
And some when they are old;
Some strangle it with hands of lust,
And some with hands of gold;
The kindest use a knife because
The dead so soon grow old.”Might we be permitted to suggest a meatax as a nifty little weapon?
