My thoughts were more toward using old folk songs. Turning "Greensleeves"
into something like:

"Alas, Thecla, you do me slight
Your final friend, your last boy-slave
When I have loved you from first sight
And will love you beyond your grave.

Chatelaine of Matachin
Chatelaine of my heart bright
Chatelaine of traitor kin
Escape with my shiny knife."
