Villanelle for a Hero

Villanelle for a Hero
Watched by a bleary spectre
Warmly greeting, laying an airy hope
Bane of most powerful Hector

A prince to earn no scepter
Fooled by a cunning myope
Watched by a bleary spectre

Great trust in a wicked defector
to a dreaded nothingness, He did grope
Bane of most powerful Hector

And so he tasted the bitter flavor of lifes crimson nectar
as he fell to his knees, he did mope
watched by a bleary spectre

The scent of the sea, his final pleasure
He slipped down the deadly slope
Bane of most powerful Hector

The final moment of this grand adventure
His last feeling, that of rope
Watched by a bleary specter
Bane of most powerful Hector
