The Giant’s Ransom

 

You promised you would pay, if I would free

You from your bondage near Coolmela‘s wood

     Some twenty ago.

So, with my magic Mantra, I made plea

To elemental Noumena who could

     Release you from your woe.

 

I am now bound in debt’s extremity,

(With urgent obligations that oppress

     My heart quite grievously),

So now it’s time that you redeem your fee —

The Royal Ransom which you promised — as

     Fair price for liberty.

 

If you will not now honour your due bond for me,

Then I am broke; but you are damned eternally!.
