I think its hard to serve a fellow so;

If he would wish [ be thu, hurled
To face a train If grim lnher ted W, es
Which, demOn-Ike pursue HIM mere,
And which hell have to ikht ike yengeful foes
As long as he this 1te can bear.
My mother now she coddles me to death.
But soon the 81 aIking time will come,
And then She'll ma emesQuatlaway M breath
