Line 44:
*** Also a hint of [[Ho Yay]]: the ''lied'' he sings, "The Trout" (composed 1817), ends with a fourth stanza which explains the trout had been an allegory for [[The Woobie|a naive girl]] caught in the reel [[All Men Are Perverts|of unscrupulous men]]. Given that Moriarty thinks himself as the fisherman and [[Freudian Excuse|his obsession with Holmes runs for years]]...
*** The fourth stanza sounds in English translation like this:
{{quote|
''Of youth, so free from doubt,''
''Be to the trout beholden;''
''At danger's sign, clear out!''
''Tis oft for want of reason''
''That maids will shun the straight.''
''Beware the anglers' treason''
''Else you may bleed too late!"'' }}
