OF kindred slaughtering ala mode.
Our hero left a blooming maid
In tears and anguish unallayed,
To whom he swore allegiance true
No other damsel he would WOO.

Like morning dew, his soul inspire
That he no craven would be found
But valiant be on battle ground.
His mother, she who gave him brit
Entwined her arms around his grit
And pressed him to her breast ono

In anguish never felt before.
