Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Outer Beauty and Inner Beast

In the late sixteenth century

Elizabeth Bathory who

A Hungarian countess be

Was renowned for her beauty true.

For her youthful beauty to stay,

Maidens to the countess were brought,

Each of whom she'd torture and slay,

And take the blood from each she got

To fill a bath, which she'd soak in,

From many maidens, young and fresh,

Committing such atrocious sins,

Preserving beauty of her flesh.

The countess of body and mind

With both beauty and beast combined.
