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!.
