Sheep, pig, cow, or ox fat
Tallow widely used
500 BC is when the Romans,
began producing tallow wax,
with an unwound strand of twine,
for light at the time
Everyone was asleep,
but the candlelight was not meek
Together
1500's, beeswax,
light the way forever
Soy and coconut are also true,
in lighting the way for you
