The Courtship of Ferb
X
Ferb.
Valiant hawk of danger, flying
Forth for fame, who here hast sped;
Donnell, see! before thee lying
Is thy foster-brother, dead.
Donnell.
Mani died in fight; the story
Lives how he his rivals still
Passed in fame, in valour, glory,
In his mercy, in his skill.
Ferb.
Not for heroes is such prattle,
Sighs, laments, and anguish sore!
You can meet his foes in battle,
Mani will return no more.
Donnell.
As a bull, behold me rushing
On King Conor's ruddy sword;
Blood shall through his skin be gushing
As with many a stroke he's gored!
