They cried out with one voice to the executioner , " Strangle him ' . strangle him ! " but the flames had already seized his body , and prevented this last sad act of dreadful compassion . Thus miserably perished the body of Urbain Grandier , sacrificed to the most diabolical hate that ever possessed human bosoms , and condemned by the most iniquitous tribunal that ever mocked with a shew of justice .
