2. Constance Bonacieux, this is my name And though I was so pure and smart I couldn’t stop the “evil dame” And left my love in broken heart I’m telling you it’s not a lie Now you tell me: How did I die ?

Answer, do try In front of Charles I you mustn’t lie I gloriously died in battle The Scottish traitors killed me while I was sleeping Cromwell shot me I was executed in Whitehall

6. Milady’s son’s the face I show Like her, I am most evil, too The way I died not many know I trust in you ! Maybe you do ! Porthos strangled me I died on the ship that exploded on its way to France I died in a duel with d’Artagnan Athos stabbed me

7. I once was a great man. Now I’m nearly at the end D’Artagnan was my enemy, Milady was my friend Of course you realised by now: I’m Rochefort and your task Is now to tell me how I died. Is that so much to ask? I died in Bastille d’Artagnan killed me Mazarin ordered my execution Queen Anne decided to have me hanged

8. Perhaps you didn’t like my name Cause it’s not French, and yet for me Any opinion’s quite the same And all I want is just to be A wealthy man without a blame. But d’Artagnan spotted me And he’s the one with all the fame. In my last moment still, you see, The King and Queen followed my game. You know who I’m supposed to be The crazy Duke of Beaufort called me: “illustrissimo facchino Mazarini di Piscina”. I had a heart attack The four musketeers locked me up in the Pierrefonds castle and I stayed there until the end of my days I died of gout Charles II poisoned me because I didn’t lend him the money he asked

Could you please Say how I died? Of what disease? I died of pneumonia I had cancer I was suffering from gout I had a heart disease

10. My master Porthos, a real lad, He made me feel so very sad. It is so hard today for me For he is just a memory. I cried, my eyes are almost red. So, faithful, I lie on the bed. I start to pray for him who may In heaven with the angels stay I hear his voice through past time’s fog: “You eat, Mousqueton, like a dog!” If these hints carefully you tie You will discover how I die. I suffered for my master and I died of broken heart I was killed in battle I put an end at my days because my master was dead I died of old age

11. I am the mightiest of the might You must have heard of me. I try to do only what’s right Because inside my heart there’s light. Only by force I succeed My mind, they say, it lacks of speed Porthos be I; how did I die? The true answer’s what I need ! I was buried under a pile of rocks outside the Locmaria cave I drowned in the sea, while trying to escape the King’s army I was captured and executed in Paris I ate too much at Fouquet’s feast

12. Aramis: I’ve always wanted to climb high, the ladder of society My plan, the greatest of them all, mischievous and free Was to replace the filthy King with one iron masked face I thought it was not hard to do, the role he should embrace. But I thought wrong. And now my friend is dead for this one lie It should be me instead of him. And yet, how did I die ? I died in the explosion in the Locmaria cave I didn’t die at the end of the book I was caught and executed The King himself challenged me to a duel, which I lost

13. Athos: I once was a musketeer Young and brave and pure of heart I had no enemies to fear But now I’m old. The world’s apart. I live my life through my son’s eyes But he has left in battle now. Don’t know what I’ll do if he dies… I would die too. Do you know how ? after he died, Raoul appeared in my dream and told me to join him I followed Raoul in Africa and I died there in a battle I didn’t die at the end of the book King Louis had me imprisoned and executed for insulting him

14. Love is not pure as Shakespeare says For he who loves does not receive it back From the one for whom he cares. So now ignored by that who lays In Louis’ arms and me betrays I do not see another track But to resign and end my days I hold a hair strand at my chest Louise, I wish you all the best. Raoul am I, and now I die Leaving my dear father back. I stabbed myself in the heart I threw myself in open fire and I have been lethally wounded I tried to murder the king but d’Artagnan saved him, killing me instead without knowing who I was I challenged de Wardes in a duel because he offended my dear Louise; de Wardes defeated me

15. D’Artagnan: I saved my Queen Anne’s honour and I faced Richelieu I courted a Milady and loved a Bonacieux I had as friends a Porthos, an Aramis, an Athos A Rochefort as an enemy. And these are just a few. I served my King with honour, but never have betrayed This friendship in my heart that often could’ve faded. I was lieutenant, captain, and marshal in the end I don’t see now what else my dream could possibly extend. How could a man like me, so brave and loyal, end? This must my question be. The answer’s in your hand. I bravely died in battle I died of old age I didn’t die at the end of the book I was shot by surprise, from Colbert’s order
