The Unbeheaded King by L. Sprague DeCamp
Chapter One
THE PALACE OF XYLAR
"Two gentlemen fleeing away From warfare in doomed Penembei, Their carriage capsized, The marsh fertilized; Their bones molder there to this day!"
"Two knaves in the royal washbasin O'er Mom's dank marshes did hasten, But leaning too far, They fell with a jar, And mud their presumption did chasten."
"A hero who wanted his wife To carry away without strife, Fell over a chair, With noise filled the air, And soon had to flee for his life!"
Chapter Two
THE GRAND DUKE'S PARK
"Two gallant adventurers, hardy and bold, To Othomae endeavored to fly; But their demon gave out o'er the Grand Ducal wold, So now in the lockup they cry!"
"Oh, some like the steaming jungle hot, Where serpents swarm and the sun shines not, And sweat runs off and your garments rot; But I prefer a more temperate spot— Novaria, my Novaria."
"Some take to the ice-clad arctic waste, Where man by the snow bear fierce is faced, Or else by ravenous wolves is chased; But as for me, I'd return in haste To Novaria, good Novaria."
