Allocation, O ally? Resources put where? In the heads of those who fly? Worry, hast thou care? O ye spirits, I collect! End Times, be my Muse! Golden gods to genuflect? Dare to disabuse! Wrath of wind, thy cyclone? It really must blow in. Heaven and Hell, hie to hone! Drenching downpour, din! Ramparts of old castle? They're slippery when wet. Gods of death, call thy vassal! How could we forget? Tomb of ancient pharaoh? A curse is on the door. Folly thus to enter? Go? Doom, thy pinafore! Mercenary armies! Become, O lords of hell! Storm from thy cemeteries! Legions, lead thee well! Soar, O mighty eagles! O parapets, take heed: Fate and Fortune, full the fools! Grind them in their greed! Ache in heart of bygone race? Lulled within thy chase. Dithering is thy disgrace! Seize the skin of face...
