I found it quite uplifting. Compared to some of my posts... There was a king reigned in the east There, when kings will sit to feast They get their fill before they think With poisoned meat and poisoned drink He gathered all that springs to birth From the many-venomed earth First a little, thence to more He sampled all her killing store And easy, smiling, seasoned sound Sate the king when healths went round They put arsenic in his meat And stared aghast to watch him eat They poured strychnine in his cup And shook to see him drink it up They shook, they stared as white's their shirt Them it was their poison hurt I tell the tale that I heard told Mithradates, he died old. --A.E. Housman
