KING DEMETRIUS "Not like a king, but like an actor, Instead of his royal robe, he put on a Gray cloak and stealthily departed." - PLUTARCH, "Life of Demetrius"
When the Macedonians abondoned him, And proved that they prefer Pyrrhus, King Demetrius (he had a great soul) Did not -so they stated- behave In the least like a king. He went And took off his robes of gold, And cast off his purple shoes. He dressed hurriedly In simple clothes and went off. Behaving like an actor Who when the performance is over Changes his clothes and departs. --------
It reminds me of Gore.
