ついでだからエーンズウォースが獄門役に歌わせた歌を紹介して置く。
The axe was sharp, and heavy as lead,
As it touched the neck, off went the head!
Whir―whir―whir―whir!
Queen Anne laid her white throat upon the block,
Quietly waiting the fatal shock;
The axe it severed it right in twain,
And so quick―so true―that she felt no pain.
Whir―whir―whir―whir!
Salisbury's countess, she would not die
As a proud dame should―decorously.
Lifting my axe, I split her skull,
And the edge since then has been notched and dull.
