Make not such dole! For I have seen the KIngs die one by one--the gold dripping off the mask--to gather like magots in the open belly of a cow, when the lightning flees the mocking morn. Yea, they dropped like flies: While I? I walked my horse easy through a gentle wood--eating cattails and the balm of bees.

Now empty is the throne. Oh! If I could but scare the strength to rise upon these roots! But I am wounded sore, as you have spilled my blood upon this land in which my father died by your father before.

Did I sleep? I cannot rise. Hie you to the Princess. Her gifts are fine, but mine they are no more. Leave me here now, in this milkweed meadow...It was a dark day on my birth, and so again...
