Plate XIII But, as the arrow cleft the core, Cried G. with indignation, "What was the second arrow for? Come, no e-quiver-cation! You had a second in your fist." Said Tell, the missile grippin', "This shaft (had I that apple missed) Was meant for you, my pippin!"
Plate XIV With rage the tyrant said, said he, "It's time to stop this prating; I find your style of repartee Extremely irritating. You'll hang for this, be pleased to note." On this they bound and gagged him (For Gessler's castle booked by boat), And through the village dragged him.
Plate XV But slips between the cup and lip, When least expected, peer through-- A storm arose upon the trip Which Tell alone could steer through. Thus, of all hands he quickly got (As you may see) the upper, At Gessler took a parting shot, And hurried home to supper.
Epilogue Some say the tale related here Is amplified and twisted; Some say it isn't very clear That William Tell existed; Some say he freed his country so, The Governor demolished. Perhaps he did. I only know That taxes aren't abolished! End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of William Tell Told Again, by P. G. Wodehouse and John W. Houghton
