I will play Pompeii and tell you just this much...
Gods don't favour labours of the common home
Nor Campainian upstarts against regal Rome
You can ask the aristocrats of our time
Syllas, Julians, Pius's stand and mime
Stories that Nola and Capua always knew
Which in time and telling grew
Short life everlasting tragic fame
Is the lot of the Pompeii name
One day my last happy heart was broken
And then Vesuvius for a task awoken.
