Apparently, it used to be possible to satirize people to literal DEATH. The Irish did the same thing to rats--rhymed the rats to death.
"I am a rimer of the Irish race, And have already rimde thee staring mad; But if thou cease not thy bold jests to spread I'll never leave till I have rimde thee dead."
