Mistress of Ghizguth, Matriarch of Swarms -

Zstylzhemgni, Queen of all teeming things

That scuttle, sting and creep

In all their myriad, multi-legged forms,

I pray to thee with mighty conjurings

And bid thee loose from out thy nether keep,

Like ashes belched from vast volcanic peaks,

Thy horrid  swarming legions.

Send them in all their buzzing billions forth

From out the torrid tropic regions

Into the insolent kingdoms of the north,

Whining across the skies on rasping wings

In sun-obscuring, crop-devouring hordes.

Then shall my vengeful soul know full delight

To hear those fearful shrieks

As all my foes - serfs, villeins, squires and lords -

Expire in dreadful frenzy, pain and fright,

Writhing beneath thy minions' myriad stings!

 

THE END.
