"Passion simmers,
Then it boils.
To the victor
Go the spoils."
— The Spoils of Babylon
(theme song, adapted)
Compare and contrast:
"… my song sounded
In the four-towered Caer, forever turning,
And of its Cauldron was my first song sung:
Nine maidens kindle the Cauldron by their breathing.
Of what nature is the Lord of Annwn’s Cauldron?
Enameled iridescence and pearly white its rim.
It will not boil the coward’s portion – not so its destiny."
— The Spoils of Hell
