The speaker claims to be a midnight robber and prince of crime who lives in a phantom graveyard where the sun never shines, rain never falls, grass never grows, and wind refuses to blow. He boasts of biting pieces from the moon, having a voice like thunder, and having already slain mystical powers and any pretenders who challenge him.

1. Midnight Robber Speech
Away down from the heightless region of the phantom graveyard came I,
The most impregnable, unconquerable and most adorable Prince of Crime.
Where I live the sun never shine,
The rain never fall,
Grass never grow,
And even the wind refuse to blow.
For I'll bite a piece of the moon and shorten the season.
My tongue is Death and my voice is Thunder
Now the voice of Thunder has now been founded onto me
Sounds like SWEET music in my ear
Murder on my mind
And even the spirit of the great mystical power of the earth I've already
crossed and slain
With any Mocking Pretender like you that come my way!
