And here's one of the examples of Elizabethan blues:
"I did wake up this morning with an aching head.
Yea, verily, I woke up this morning with an aching head,
And my lady was not to be seen anywhere in my bed.
I ran like a madman, and did cry out her name,
Yea I did run like a madman and also cry out her name,
But Echo, for to mock me, cried back the same."

& then your body
one long bone
blood mists around

singing clear as glass
as alone
