Solicitude

Don't you think that the family has suffered enough.
Why must you stir up this mess?
He wasn't constructed of very strong stuff.
He couldn't put up with the press.

He must not have been what he seemed to be.
He could not have been very stable.
That he might have been killed for his honesty
Is just a romantic fable.

We'll fight for his right to be off in the head.
What do you mean, we offend you?
If you should turn up mysteriously dead,
This is how we would defend you.
