I've got a villain (named Odrik the Mindslaver) that I want to have stand out in the minds of the players. He's a wizard (5th edition, enchanter subclass; but that's not really relevant), and his mind has been shaped by an aboleth to do its bidding (i.e. not nice things).
I want this villain to have a variety of poems at his disposal, which he recites whenever he feels like taunting the players. I've been digging around online for a while now for short villainous poems along the topics of insanity, slavery, and general villainy, and I've had some success, but I would really like some help.
If you know of a poem (or a section/stanza of a poem) that a villain would recite (either in triumph or failure), would you be kind enough to post it here (with credit to the original author, as would be appropriate)? I'd be happy to compile the responses here into a google doc for others to use for your their respective villains if you'd like.
Thanks in advance!
