Never Lie With Snakes.

 
Pray, never make the grave mistake

Of laying down your head with snakes



For pretty though they may appear

A serpent's kiss brings forth but tears



Deep in the night, the witching hour

When poison floods the blooming flower



Voluptuous, its venom, sweet

Red blood spilt on soaking sheets
