The Chimera

Canto I

That hast spoke to us, that hideous and repulsive creature,

For it came from the mire and depths of hell as the usurper of virtue

Its followers come aloof and bewildered as the sinners came for retribution,

Who hast sent this monster? This agent from hell will drag down those fellows

Whom are against the will of God's good grace, lest we forget that for God's

Grace and mercy shall be the tangent to a goodman's heart.

Behold! The Chimera has come! For it shall cut thy cord of virtue onto God,

Shall man become the devil? For the least separation from God is hell in its own,

For whom should man put his virtue upon? His family? His friends? His neighbor?

Behold! The Chimera has come! For it shall too cut off thy good nature that God

Has given us, lesser men are to fall under the abyss that mankind has dug,

To which the Chimera resides in its chamber, not from hell, but in man's heart.

If man is sent to the chamber, therefore he shall see the devilry of the Chimera

Those who shall see must inquire to the Chimera, that he shall not become the Chimera.

Behold! Thy Chimera shall give birth to the Sphinx! For the meteor shines vividly

Upon the brilliant skies before annihilation, as the serpent appears after floods

Goes by its own way, towards the dangerous paths that lies ahead. 

Behold! The Chimera! For this serpent's path leads to it! There comes forth the Chimera!
