[livejournal.com profile] paka does this sort of thing sometimes. They're rather good!

An excerpt!

BELOQ: In greatest triumph is this Arque of Gold opened up,
But naught but sand, naught but the most common sand of Aegyptus,
Do we but find within!
But soft you now!
For something else does now approach, a figure,
A form as lovely and as fine as an angel upon the brightest heaven!
Beauteous it is, this Arque!
And yet again are things changed hence, as players do change the scene of which they act from a common-house to a king's castle!
No angel be it, but a sheeted phantom,
A dead-faced thing which speaks of the gibbet!
It reekest of the foulest charnel of battlefields!
Alas, with it brings fire most puissiant indeed,
As of a thousand ships of war in cannons given hence!
My countenance be all melted as candles in the sun,
And thus is Beloq's victory and learning all undone.

He dies.
