Romanza of Don Iago and the Banker

knight

The banker ran away from Don Iago
through the Kingdoms of Wind and Sand and Stars,
but Don Iago rode him down in the Kingdom of Sorrows.

When the banker was trapped,
he offered Don Iago all his money
and his houses and rents and trinkets.

Don Iago replied, I will take all your money
and cut off your nose as a plaything for sparrows,
and string my guitar with your guts.
