Who is king but Epiphanes?
Say do you know?
Who is king but Epiphanes?
Bravo bravo!
There is none but Epiphanes,
No there is none:
So tear down the temples,
And put out the sun!
Who is king but Epiphanes?
Say do you know?
Who is king but Epiphanes?
Bravo bravo!

Notes:
This version shows the poem as it was first published, as part of the tale “Epimanes.” Unlike “The Haunted Palace” and “The Conqueror Worm,” also used as part of a tale, Poe never collected this poem outside of the story.
