Pre-Deathmatch Benediction
The eye of Ares burns bright this night,
That copp’ry glimmer of untold rage!
Oh, the drums of war,
Beating with mountainous might
Pounding within the noble cage
Of their master’s martial breast.
The world will drown in his savage roar
Until finally he comes to rest-Sir James Milton Kellsworthing, 1835
