Quatermain
Let me make it plain,
to be like Quatermain,
and break the chain,
of deep down dreary.
Today it would be insane,
to act like Quatermain,
but admire just the same,
the constant quest for query.
To slaughter for the glory,
Quatermain's old story,
to plunder for the quarry,
and then stuff to display.
For it's the same old story,
the quest for fame and glory,
that drives us to the gory,
it's always been that way.
So if you seek the gold,
from ancient stories told,
remember Quatermain of old,
that there is a price to pay.

I saw two movie versions of King Solomon's Mines with Alan Quartermain played by Stewart Granger in the 1950 movie, and Richard Chamberlain in the 1985 movie - I liked them both.
Peace love and light
