Two Men

 There be two men of all mankind 
That I should like to know about; 
But search and question where I will, 
I cannot ever find them out. 

Melchizedek he praised the Lord, 
And gave some wine to Abraham; 
But who can tell what else he did 
Must be more learned than I am. 

Ucalegon he lost his house 
When Agamemnon came to Troy; 
But who can tell me who he was -- 
I'll pray the gods to give him joy. 

There be two men of all mankind 
That I'm forever thinking on: 
They chase me everywhere I go, -- 
Melchizedek, Ucalegon.
