And he kissed the Happy Prince on the lips , and fell down dead at his feet . At that moment a curious crack sounded inside the statue , as if something had broken . The fact is that the leaden heart had snapped right in two . It certainly was a dreadfully hard frost . Early the next morning the Mayor was walking in the square below in company with the Town Councillors . As they passed the column he looked up at the statue : `` Dear me ! how shabby the Happy Prince looks ! '' he said . `` How shabby indeed ! '' cried the Town Councillors , who always agreed with the Mayor ; and they went up to look at it . `` The ruby has fallen out of his sword , his eyes are gone , and he is golden no longer , '' said the Mayor in fact , `` he is litttle beter than a beggar ! '' `` Little better than a beggar , '' said the Town Councillors . `` And here is actually a dead bird at his feet ! '' continued the Mayor . `` We must really issue a proclamation that birds are not to be allowed to die here . '' And the Town Clerk made a note of the suggestion . So they pulled down the statue of the Happy Prince . `` As he is no longer beautiful he is no longer useful , '' said the Art Professor at the University . Then they melted the statue in a furnace , and the Mayor held a meeting of the Corporation to decide what was to be done with the metal . `` We must have another statue , of course , '' he said , `` and it shall be a statue of myself . ''
`` Of myself , '' said each of the Town XXXXX , and they quarrelled .
