Description

Once upon a time, near a rough-hewn lagoon, just east of the sun and west of the Moon, there lived a young prince with a head full of horns whose terrible mien drew a fair maiden's scorn.

The maidens fair-warned at the sound of his horn that he blew every morn' till today: When the cows in the wheat hear the sheep as they bleat 'tis the boy who's at play in the hay.

Asleep in the hay with a maiden all day, bewitched and bedeviled in a beastly bad way, such a Cardinal sin could easily win the heart of a blue-blooded fay.

Alas. . .
For the love of a lass was all that he asked; on the day that he lay with mermalien le fay, young Villeroy Bleu paid the piper his due when she spurned him and kept him at bay.

'Twas the sting of an arrow whose course short and narrow would open her heart to his own; for the thorny Boy Blue, love was long overdue, his lust for maidens at last outgrown.
