After thanking the choir and the Burgomaster Baron, he alluded to his famed hobby thus...
...that, 1,500 years later, Cesare Cardinal Borgia inclined to?incest with his sisters. His fancies led him to roast people alive, feed others to wild beasts. He loved to mutilate children, women, men. At executions he made victims' parents attend and after the slaughter dine with him, to enjoy their obsequious gagging...
