Hear ye, hear ye of the tale of old The Story of Illigula - the truth be told The reing of a lunatic, a profit, a saint He made his horse a senator like it aint no thang
Tiberius inherited empire from Augustus He rulled firm but fair all across its vastness It pained him to see how fame and royalty Eluded him in favour of his nephew G Germaincus was nephews regal name And driving Arminius back was his trade The throngs adored G, army gave him props His wife Agrippina bore the splendor of Gods T grew envious and dark in his demenour Paranoidal demons implored to waste that nigger
An adders kiss planted on Germanicus Had lain the dearest nephew to eternal rest With a vicious curse upon his dying breath G spawned a monster to despoil roman land Tiberius was yet oblivious to the bizzare Potential for perversion in Illigula
T grew distrustful and hateful of his kind The rabble still sedated in Augustus' tithe Against those in power Tiberius had plotted In their angst and misery he maniacally gloated, With no one to keep him fully in check, With Sejanus he soon became ill-conect, Sejanus was snake who ran affairs for him, while T lived in a villa rarely to be seen,
Yeilding to all sorts of evil luxuries Chocked on a pillow he was found deceased. His bulging eyes and breath that had expired Have blessed Illigula to throne of the empire
At first Illigula conducted fair reign With revelries and violence to aid public gain Yet all was nought when in one dreadful night Taint of Tiberiuses heritage became his blight The manic crave for utter adoration Had held such vicious sway on him That when the crowds cheered under expectation Arrows were fired and blood was spilt
"Would that the people of Rome had but one neck, so that I might behead them all at once."
Illigula was so much desperate for fame And burnt Virgils books with least of pains He schemed against others and burst out in a laugh When pondered on how easily he can warrant death
They say that when the emperor volitioned suspense He wrestled holy souls from roman residents He drank with utmost pleasure from horror frozen neck And swooped from pale skies on wings of giant bat
But still he was a fair man deep down in his heart Amending civil losses he mastered pleasure arts So that for every victim that he has come to slay He conceived 15 children each other fertile day
It is noteworthy matter points out a famous sage, That babies popped in hours being born eighteen of age.
Another famous instant that history preserves Is how he deemed the horse for Senate being dearth
The horse was then accused of treason to the state- Illigula grew weary of steed stealing his fame. This didnt go unnoticed for in a couple nights The emperor was ambushed and stripped clean of his rights
As he was gaily watching the circus show of freaks Some clowns have somesaulted with stabs and flicks and kicks. Illigula was thirty when he met his demise Yet he will live forever in hell and in our minds.
