Chanty

Kneel to the beautiful women who bear us this strange brave fruit.
Man with his soul so noble: man half god and half brute
Women bear him in pain that he may bring them tears
He is a king on earth, he rules for a term of years.
And the conqueror's prize is dust and lost endeavour.
And the beaten man becomes a story for ever.
For the gods employ strange means to bring their will to be.
We are in the wise gods' hands and more we cannot see.
