    HAPPENSTANCE and CIRCUMSTANCE

    O' Mischievous One,
    dare I confront kind Darius's
    declaration of affection for thee?

    Are such clumsy attempts of capricous passion
    fun for thee?

    So I see you hath timed my entrance into the Courtyard
    to coincide with your embrace of kind Darius,
    but, alas thy enactment of an Enchanted Love scene
    seem lost on his chaste nature
    My drunken and lecherous buddies are insistent
    in their exhaltations but I did not descend to such lows
    being privy in such delicate matters to your foolishness

    I know of Darius well and am quite fond
    of his devotion to family and just cause
    Far be it for me to test the limits of his patience
    for the desired prize, with respect due of course, pails
    in comparison to my exertion

    This I have discovered in various travels and trevails-
    Men unconsciously fight until knocking on death's door
    concerning matters of the heart

    And Darius, kind and noble gentleman he is,
    has a well founded reputation for succumbing to the
    wiles of vanglorious vanity

    Perhaps, Mischievous One
    you are Nahemah, the princess of all Succubi
    or, perhaps you are rather pale imitation thereof...
    I know not which.
    But, it is not for me to determine, for when you and I
    blessed many a morning intertwined you were fresh
    as the whisper of spring upon the Ides of March

    What you hath lost is due not to age but lack of foresight
    and an overabundance of misguided cunning
    The one trick you hath perfected is quite effective
    when dealing with over zealous colts such as young Darius
    and no,
    as a man of honor I shall not have his blood stain
    the sword I've inherited from the men of my lineage

    I only pray he shall awaken soon from Dreams of Falsehood
    and aquire the seasoning necessary to repel delicious yet
    diseased flesh such as yours
    O' My Lady
    what you once were!
    What indeed you could have been if not for the gnawing of past guilt
    upon your once pristine soul

    These men who are besotted by your need for carnivorous copulation
    are, truth be told, not men a'tall, but expectant boys masquerading
    as Avengers of the Forlorn Princess
    a role you play quite well...but only for an audience virginal in the
    Theatre of the Absurd

    O' Mischievous One
    or should your name be Drusilla, sister of that decacent Emperor Caligula
    do you not share her...ahem..virtues?
    know that when he, in arrogance, appointed her permanence
    in the Seat of Honor, the ruin to her reputation is being felt till this day
    What appears to be affection can be misconstrued when the initial motive
    is one of deparvity of the soul

    And so,
    My...ahem..Lady
    I appeal to your soul at this moment..charred remain though it is
    do not allow Darius to be victim of your lies upon my person
    for, it is his life that shall be paid in recompence for services rendered
    to the demons of Lust
    It shall be a departure from your typical acts, I am sure, but
    this land need men like Noble Darius
    I, on the other hand, need not the neddlesome task of disposing
    this meandering colt's corpse upon the cesspool of your heart

    ..and do so I shall, if he continues to annoy me with his
    meddlesome smirk, and I, in a state of inebriation very seldom,
    succumb to the whims of my more boisterous friends

    ...I wish you good day, and for young, kind Darius,
    continued health
