Now Hathset Egypt's king did know
The favor queen on scribe bestowed
And jealous grew her love to see
Was grant to scribe and not to he.

So pharaoh waited long and stayed
To catch his queen he's sure had strayed
When Khufu brought again report
Unto the queen's own royal court.

And when the man did come as tasked

In deaths embrace to surely lie

But angered more than mortal man

Wherever souls together thrum
So both shall surely know my scorn
Throughout the lives you'll be reborn."

Not even grant a tomb or grave.
But lions' maw the final place
