Held within The Pleasure Dome Decreed by Kubla Khan To taste my bitter triumph As a mad immortal man Nevermore shall I return Escape these caves of ice For I have dined on honey dew And drunk the milk of Paradise"

(The Black Hole of) Cygnus X-1
I set a course just east of lyra And northwest of pegasus Flew into the light of deneb Sailed across the milky way
On my ship, the rocinante Wheeling through the galaxies, Headed for the heart of cygnus Headlong into mystery

"By-Tor And The Snow Dog"
Tobes of Hades, lit by flickering torchlight The netherworld is gathered in the glare Prince By-Tor takes the cavern to the north light The sign of Eth is rising in the air
By-Tor, knight of darkness Centurion of evil, devil's prince
Across the River Styx, out of the lamplight His nemesis is waiting at the gate The Snow Dog, ermine glowing in the damp night Coal-black eyes shimmering with hate
By-Tor and the Snow Dog Square for battle, let the fray begin
The battle's over and the dust is clearing Disciples of the Snow Dog sound the knell Rejoicing echoes as the dawn is nearing By-Tor, in defeat, retreats to Hell
Snow Dog is victorious The land of the Overworld is saved again
