There was, is sayd, in former place
Of which ye atlas show nay trace
To be a younge man of sorts
His face all covered in warts
And heighte Palamon for sooth
Of which I shall but tell ye truth

This Palamon of which I speak
Espied a mayden fair and meek
Who, had she lived in time long gone
Would have been queen of Babylon
And so sore is his herte struck
(Oh cursed by this mayden's luck)
He swore an oath by mighty Zeus
That he would sacrifice a goose
Or else a duck, if that be cheap
To have of this fair maid a peep

And time did fly, ere like a dove
With a heed for younge love
Till now this mayden fair be old
And all her shining beauty sold
Like dust upon this lane of time
Which seems for sooth a major crime
But is the way of cruel fate
(Or so it doth yseem of late)
And one night as if she be mad
She wandered in nothing clad
And all the town did see her so
And also did our bold hero
Who had in memory not his oath
But as ye olde writer quoth
Said "That be not a pretty sight"
And scarpered in fear and fright

And Zeus looked down upon this earth
And by his great and mighty birth
He sent a bolt of thunder bright
That lighted up this summer night
And lo this Palamon it struck
Thus oft sweet fate, is sayd...
...be rotten luck

The point is we are all connected... through love... through loneliness... through one lamentable lapse in judgment!
