O Rex Gentium, et desideratus earum, lapisque angularis, qui facis utraque unum: veni, et salva hominem, quem de limo formasti.

O King of the Nations, and the one they desired, keystone, who makes both peoples one, come and save mankind, whom you shaped from the mud.

I was pretty excited to see a vesper thing about genitals and even though I call mine "Joe Smackers" instead of "Rex" I still thought it might work. But when I read that part about MUD.......Well even I ain't that desperate!

A song that was too earthy for 'Spaw ?
It's better than an operaw!

Do I detect a Grantaire influence, T?

No, that was the influence of the b'way musical Les Miserables. Though I don't much like the musical stage, I find that bits of it are nice. T.
