Drecched Drecched Drecched Maenad<br />
Maenad<br />
Deicides ga<strong>the</strong>r yon <strong>the</strong> umbral haunt<br />
Of a pale, dying Empress,<br />
Wanton of yester charms now gaunt<br />
Vaunting grace, cruel and peerless.<br />
Doleful laudeth <strong>the</strong>y<br />
The entombed herein,<br />
Loting 'round in eddie<br />
So quaint a one to reign.<br />
Albeit <strong>the</strong> olden doth whist<br />
Fro <strong>the</strong> flock wetly hiss't ;<br />
"Maenad, hath <strong>the</strong>e thy fill<br />
Of drecche, taunt and lore?<br />
Surfeit nay? Cloyed to ill ?<br />
Riposteth we our due glore :<br />
Sweet sweven of thy coarse breath,<br />
Croaking quire in thy second death !<br />
Canst thy fraught court us to naught ?<br />
Canst thy errant irk shea<strong>the</strong> our dirk ?<br />
Daresay we, nay <strong>the</strong>y shall not !<br />
