# The punishment fit the crime
1:53:03
# And make each prisoner pent
1:53:06
# Unwillingly represent
1:53:08
# A source of innocent merriment
1:53:11
# Of innocent merriment
1:53:17
# The advertising quack
1:53:19
# Who wearies with tales
of countless cures

1:53:22
# His teeth, I've enacted
1:53:24
# Shall all be extracted
by terrified amateurs

1:53:26
# The music-hall singer attends a series
1:53:29
# Of masses and fugues and ops
1:53:31
# By Bach interwoven
with Spohr and Beethoven

1:53:33
# At classical Monday pops
1:53:35
# The billiard sharp
whom anyone catches

1:53:38
# His doom's extremely hard
1:53:40
# He's made to dwell in a dungeon cell
1:53:44
# On a spot that's always barred
1:53:47
# And there he plays extravagant matches
1:53:49
# In fitless fingerstalls
1:53:51
# On a cloth untrue
1:53:54
# With a twisted cue
1:53:56
# And elliptical billiard balls
1:54:03
# My object all sublime
1:54:05
# I shall achieve in time
1:54:08
# To let the punishment fit the crime
1:54:10
# The punishment fit the crime
1:54:12
# And make each prisoner pent
1:54:14
# Unwillingly represent
1:54:16
# A source of innocent merriment
1:54:18
# Of innocent merriment
1:54:21
# His object all sublime
1:54:23
# He will achieve in time
1:54:25
# To let the punishment fit the crime
1:54:27
# The punishment fit the crime
1:54:29
# And make each prisoner pent
1:54:32
# Unwillingly represent
1:54:34
# A source of innocent merriment
1:54:36
# Of innocent merriment
1:54:44
Did I say come in?
1:54:46
You are required in the auditorium,
Mr Grossmith.

1:54:49
I requested five minutes' grace.
1:54:52
You've had eight, sir.
1:54:53
- Mayn't it wait until tomorrow?
- No, sir.
