There are strange things done
                                ’neath the eldrich sun
By the men who vie for glory;
The Ocean Stream has heard their screams
And seen their endings gory;

Those watchful eyes have parsed the lies
through fog and rain and night
but on that day in Arrival Bay
they saw one set alight!

Don Vagoe pranced in the flames that danced
cremating all disguises
burning through to the man that’s true
though full of hot surprises!

He gave a shout that threw all doubt
about his place of birth
up to the skies with all his lies
while the flames flared high with mirth.

“Don’t let him burn!” Belinda yearned
and Marlowe looked askance
but he grabbed the man as he began
to fall upon fire’s lance.

There are strange things seen
                                when you serve the Queen
in the far-off lands of Fae
but the strangest one is the deed that’s done
to stop your foe’s flambé!
