And now comes lovely Art: watch Bluebeard fascinate her.
She little dreams he's plotting to assassinate her.
Whether in marble cold or pigments bright,
Art's an abomination in his sight.
Her noblest work, the human form divine,
To Bluebeard is a thing accursed like Wine.
One lightning flash of steel and Art has met
The fate of Lovingcup and Cigarette.
