Ill omens abounded,
a great purge came,
nameless triad fallen
and all dismayed.
Ultimate burning ever onward,
zealous, virile and resolute,
frame and essence, both.
Denominated 'Hercules'.
Speculated in perpetuation
upon easy comestibles
veil of spurning fate
for the quarter moon.
Arrested by providence,
capitulated potency,
lapsed, too soon,
shedding of tears.
