Book Three: Thalia

Ethiopia was hit with a ring

They were attacked by Cambyses the king

Cambyses was an extremely mad man

Ew. Yuck. Gag. How I despise those bed pans

Good fortune was received by Polycrates

Oh my! What has my Pepper gone and ate?

Periander had an obstinate son

Mu Wa Ha! My work has only begun!

Two of the Magi revolt in Persia

Good spices are loved in Arabia

The dear Magi were removed by seven

That random kid can count to eleven

Then Darius the first came to power

You can see there were twenty satrapies

And India collected gold strangely

And then five gates caused a flooded valley

Then Oroetes schemed against Polycrates

Pepper jumped into another flame, great

A wise physician was Democedes

Oh I hope I don't get a strange disease

Samos's governor was Syloson

Then Zopryus defeated Babylon

Oh, my light is no longer very bright

I'll be continuing tomorrow night
