The Ingoldsby Legends | ||
Moral.
This truest of stories confirms beyond doubtThat truest of adages—“Murder will out!”
In vain may the blood-spiller “double” and fly,
In vain even witchcraft and sorcery try:
Although for a time he may 'scape, by-and-by
He'll be sure to be caught by a Hugh and a Cry!
