Pythoness of Gloomy Swivens
From the bitter sweven,
awake tonight - I lie;
Meseems, thee sky singin' a gardyloo,
Aye - that's aright;
Tis' a song from alow;
From thee depths of wanion;
A tithe of fear -
a tithe of recondite;
Thou shalt be ware of thee cursed wench,
Tis` thee pythoness of gloomy sweven`s;
Be slayed - !
Ye scapegrace;
And appear in my dreams no more!
For I cannot bear the unknown.
