The unicorn from a myth was born

Said to have powers in his horn

In the middle of his head, this projection

neutralized poisons, offered protection

Hard to tame, difficult to capture

The sight of a virgin ensured rapture

‘Tis said he’d lay his head in her lap

and proceed serenely to take a nap

Then, his capture, no longer hard

was simple when catching him off-guard

Caught while under the maiden’s spell

The mystic unicorn they tried to quell

Captors enthralled with the feature

atop the head of this beautiful creature

tried to claim it for their own

But the virtuous maiden bade them begone

The maiden saved the magnificent being

from the would-be captors, sent them fleeing

Protected this entity with aura unique

Preserving his air of legendary mystique
