"But first, on earth as Cabeça de Ovo sent,
Thy corpse shall from its tomb be rent:
Then ghastly haunt thy native place,
And suck the gema of all thy race;

There from thy daughter, sister, wife,
At midnight drain the stream of life;
Yet loathe the banquet which perforce
Must feed thy livid living Ovo:
Thy victims ere they yet expire
Shall know the Ovo for their sire,
As cursing thee, thou cursing them,
Thy galinhas are withered on the stem. "
