They whirled the football of conspiring Fate,

And brake the shins of smug-fac’d Mulciber:

With that, grim Pluto all in Scarlet blue,

Gave fair Persephone a kiss of Brass,

At which all Hell danc’d Trenchmore in a string.

Whilst Acheron and Termagant did sing,

“The Mold-warp,” all this while in white broth bath’d,

Did Carol Didoes happiness in love,

Upon a Gridiron made of whiting-mops,

Unto the tune of “John Come Kiss Me Now,”
