She was the daughter of the King of Crete
Sister of Ariadne, young and sweet
Married to Theseus; her sister used to love
Had a misfortune path fell in love with another lad
Hippolytus, handsome but a chaste
Son of her husband, she's a victim of lust
Aphrodite the goddess of love and beauty
Created this adversity now she claims responsibility
She did all she can to have the man
Longing for love which only he could fill her heart
Rejection is what she gets even if she cram
Painful it was like stabbed by a thousand dart
Suicidal, she is ashamed;
her inappropriate and unreciprocated passion
Died while leaving amorous accusations
Then Theseus came and put his son into blame
Without hearing his side of the story he was treated as a beast
Hippolytus died as the cause of her demise

This is based on Euripides' Hippolytus
