Black Cube Poems

A large black cube in the Tarot Dungeon contained these lines of texts, two on each face. The exact order of the poem has not been determined, so faces are given as a reference point.

    With a host of furious fancies
    Whereat I am commander (east face)
    With a burning spear and a horse of air
    To the virgin's horns I wander (south face)
    By a maid of ghosts in shadow
    I summoned am to tourney (west face)   
    Five leagues beyond the bright world's end (may be wild instead of bright)
    Methinks it is no journey (north face)

(Order corrected by Achaeus).

When the cube was struck with a weapon, it vibrated and then new lines appeared while the cube vibrated. Sadko later told us that these lines were from a Greek children's song, and he gave us the correct order:

    So I do sing any food
    Any feeding (east face)
    Feeding, drink, or clothing (north face)
    Come dame or maid
    Be not afraid (west face)
    Poor Thom will injure nothing (south face)

More verses from Achaeus:

The snails and pearly oysters are none of Tom's comrados The welk I scorn and the cuthroats sworn and the cuttlefish bravados The meek the white the gentil me fondle touch and spar not Who dare cross Tom Rhinoceros do what the panther dare not

So I will sing...

The book of moons bring with you, and the wayward words ethereal The sister who lived from the sister who lived and the roguish boy's material but where will Tom betake him then, his food and clothing readied Oh Tom will go where the strange winds blow and no one tells him thus and so but other than that he just don't know just where on earth he's headed
