Rondeau

Inscribe the name of my holder,
And bone-deep let it be written.
Before the brand can grow colder,
Inscribe the name of my holder;
On unseen nape let it smolder.
Where cat's mouth seizes the kitten
Inscribe the name of my holder,
And bone-deep let it be written,
To hurt me when I am older.
Inscribe the name of my holder;
Soak down my neck, past my shoulder,
My muscles swollen and bitten.
Inscribe the name of my holder,
And bone-deep let it be written.
My pus and lymph as the solder,
Inscribe the name of my holder;
My toes will blacken and molder
As through my blood I am smitten.
Inscribe the name of my holder,
And bone-deep let it be written.
