“Wake up you sleeping duffer, don’t you know your lady’s gone. She’s slipped away you fool, and now won’t return till dawn. My man Syn has taken her, away to his retreat. I’ve come here to offer comfort to the one she’s dared to cheat ”. I blink and check the time, it’s too late for avarice, A wanton wench is tempting me, you won’t surely stand for this ? I reach across the covers, your side has gone quite cold. “You mean she’s really left” I ask, “to be with your fine beau ?” The steamy temptress nods then smiles, then slowly drops her sash. Like Perseus as Andromeda calls I now wait for Poseidon’s wrath. One look from me her smile broadens, she then slips beneath the cover. How am I to resist her charms, what will I tell your mother ? I’ll say we met to find a way, to salvage her lost pride, The poor soul’s lost her love tonight, from this I cannot hide. Her touch is oh so gentle, and how her perfume lingers. Only a man of stone could let such beauty pass through his fingers. Did I do wrong offering comfort and advice ? Without some love and sympathy she will be his sacrifice. To give just a few short hours could result in heavens bliss, and will surely start to make up for that heathens tryst. “What’s that I grunt, are you back so soon ?” “Must you really make all that noise when you enter our room ?” “Wake up you fool, the clock says way past Eight !” “Don’t forget your giving all the prizes today, at the local Church Fete”.
