With blood on the line He's sent down deep into an abyss By his chosen true deeds All trusted allies With blood on the line He's been defamed Hell infringing upon his days He melds, yeah, he's made Unto him who listens amiss Like a river wouldn't flow aback He's been done hard about He's back, yeah back and stronger With blood on the line Like a ragged-fine...

Toils and brawls hit hard herebelow Till poetry and its bliss are forgotten; Till the joys of rhyme totter battered By thrusts of a world foul and rotten. But when the last of blows The versifier's nose all wet Has left in crimson sutures, This quill shall scribble yet....

I hold it quite tattered To have someone flattered, All the time, some John mattered: Such Johns are soon scattered! Many still call me 'Prof', Thank God some would just cough, Saying it in a voice rough Shows of being The Gruff... Then failed is flattery And charged my battery While I dare mystery Far from the jittery... Then, the oft flattered Is the oft battered....
