Say What?!
********************
"here is the real Danaë - she would kindle your lust even higher -
with a touch, one mere touch of her body - and your limbs melt in the fire"
Danae was the mother of Perseus by Zeus in Greek Mythology. Her father, King Acrisius, was disappointed in his lack of male offspring (much like a well known Tudor King). He consulted an oracle in order to learn when his fortunes would change, but instead was told that he would be killed by his daughter's offspring. She had no children at the time, and so the King kept her locked away in order to keep it that way (too bad our Francis wasn't around ;-D). Zeus came to her in the form of golden rain, impregnated her (I think we know where Sir Francis was going with this analogy), and started the prophesy in motion.
She is portrayed in many famous works of art.

Whether he's cracking us up or making us squirm, we can't help wondering what Sir Francis will say next!
