In An Animal Kingdom: Courtship Can Be A Deadly Fatal Dance Poem by Terence George Craddock

a chilling tale of brother against brother fought in evil darkness sight
on a mountain summit a family castle is wrapped in brooding night
in valley echo blows gleam sparkles struck by clashing swords in fight
brothers in fury fierce wage bitter battle against a fire skyline spectral?

hand against hand in violent ferocious rage burns a deadly hatred brand
see a hellish diabolical hate burns in each fevered searing brother eye
which ill-fated foolish blood kinsman brother if any will here fall to die
what could be a festering cause to turn brother against brother suicidal?

what dark deceit fly in bitter ointment could brew this festering stew
it was passion inflamed by beauty Countess Laura's beaming glances
it was her looks tempting irresistible which did this fatal feud inflame?

dry kindling cauldron set were both brothers with equal intense passion
thus set in motion was a viper hissing dance for a fair and noble dame
who could win the fair one's favor win her for his own beloved bride?
