    I love Etrigan! I love everything about him, but I love his rhymes the most. I don't have a lot of books with him in them sadly, so I'm creating this thread where we can make a collection of all his rhymes. So dust off those old Etrigan collections and start searching for his rhymes and post them here. You can post anything: dialogue, spells, threats, ANYTHING.
     
    I'll start with the poem that released him:
    Yarva Demonicus Etrigan.
    Change, change the form of man.
    Free the prince forever damned.
    Free the might from fleshy mire.
    Boil the blood in heart of fire.
    Gone, gone the form of man,
    Rise the demon Etrigan!

    I haven't read much stories featuring Etrigan but he had a couple of good rhymes in The Demon Annual #2.
     
    Is it a bird
    or is it a plane?
    No--'tis a flatulent,
    flying fat ali-en!
    Oops, there
    I go now, pushing
    my rhymes! P'raps
    't would be best
    just to lay off
    the wine!

    YES! I love me some Demon Knights! Here is the rhyme that Merlin uses to trap Etrigans soul to Jason Bloods!

    Caught now, Imprisoned

    In the form of man

    I fix the Demon

    ETRIGAN!!

    And my personal favorite Etrigan rhyme involves my good friend Vandal Savage.

    Etrigan: Out side it seems a terrible beast

    But lets find out...

    Inside...

    Vandal Savage: A FEAST!!!!!

    Etrigan's appearance in one story arc of Saga of Swamp Thing had a bunch of awesome rhymes written by Alan Moore. There are too many and too long to type out here, but this is one of my favorites:

    "I shed no tear for those that die unshriven. For they are men. Just men.
    And what are men but chariots of wrath...
    by demons driven!"

    When Spectre kills Jason Blood in the Injustice: Gods Among Us universe:

    "A gruesome death. Agonizing pain."

    "And what was one is now in twain."

    "Jason Blood, my host, has died."

    "Our two bound souls have been untied."

    "Abandoned here is Etrigan-"

    "Gone, forever, my form of man."

    The following is not a joke, and is featured in Batman: Dammed (so it’s recent as of me posting this):

    Etrigan is dressed up as a rapper. He has a golden pentagram necklace and it’s all something out of a fever dream. Then he starts rhyming

    “The pit you can’t fill-

    Yet still you spill”

    People are cheering

    “Over the edges, over each other, over and over the worm is your lover”

    “You made bare now you'll never re-cover”

    “J BLOOD! I AM IN DEE MAN’ “

    “Be Dee mon”

    “ETRIGAN!”

    (The “I be dee mon” line makes me want to be dead mon’)
