The Minotaur

 No book of monsters is complete
Without the Minotaur of Crete.
Yet should I draw him you would quail1,
So in his place I draw a veil.
O stars, that from Creation's birth
Have winked2 at everything on earth,
Who shine where poets fear to tread,
Relate the story in my stead!
Although it's comforting to know
That Theseus slew3 him long ago,
We need not boast, we too could do
With—well, a Theseus or two.
