“Words, words,
words.”
— Hamlet (2.2)
List #13: (g) temperament, (h) inflict
He had the sort of temperament
That in a way was sort of “bent”—
Yes, somewhat evil. I predict
That soon, perhaps, he will inflict
Upon the world—or on some folks—
The sort of stuff that can’t be jokes—
The sort of stuff that causes pain.
He’ll smile—and do it once again.
