Children of the Night — Two Men

Two Men There be two men of all mankind That I should like to know about;

But search and question where I will, I cannot ever find them out.

Melchizedek he praised the Lord, And gave some wine to Abraham;

But who can tell what else he did Must be more learned than I am.

Ucalegon he lost his house When Agamemnon came to Troy;

But who can tell me who he was -- I'll pray the gods to give him joy.

There be two men of all mankind That I'm forever thinking on: They chase me everywhere I go, -- Melchizedek, Ucalegon.
