Circumstances led to adventure
as Giuseppe failed the monastery
after practising great deceptions
and experiments in alchemy;
With promises of great treasures
he forged his way out of Sicily
to become the most perfect scoundrel
that marked the world’s history.

And then a new adventurer came,
well-studied and practised in lies;
and in the kingdom of deceit
the regime encouraged his rise;
With promises of great treasures
of fantastic, tremendous size,
Donald failed to conjure more
than a Cagliostro in disguise.
