The two things may go together

As to the songs he sang

They were fool in winter weather.

Here lies a part of hell that on hearth was

(It took it too long to pass,

Riddled by way of Justices’ dart)

Here lies the beautiful assassin cold

Who smiled upon his victim and did ging

Wondering sweet songs to his imagining

Till by his cast and {…} he rolled

     It died because it was old.
