Analysis of Heroic: part 4
He settled down on a large estate
Married well and put on weight
Never failing to tell his stories
Of his travels and his glories
Until his early years turned late
To honor him they commissioned an anthology
With all his adventures listed chronologically
The house of records bound it in leather
A silk strand in the spine held it together
Instead of heroic tales it read like a Necrology
