It was many and many years ago
In a kingdom by the sea
There lived a man among men
Whose name lay buried beneath
History's tomb.
A man so swift, yea, swifter than the eagles;
A man so brave, yea, more brave was he
Than the fiercest beast;
By his raging roars, a plethora of armies
He turned to flight.
Such a man was he on whom the gods dote
For he conquered the land and troubled the sea.
But how young they die whom the gods love?

One day, while at war on a voyage,
The mighty warrior went blue with love
Stung by winged Cupid's potion.
Mortal and goddess perfectly...
