The Ballad of Giovanni Alfonso Borelli Taverner

Oh, Giovanni Alfonso Borelli Taverner, a name that rolls off the tongue so grand,
Like a symphony of words, the sweetest sound on every strand.

From Tuscany to Naples, your journey takes flight,
A renowned physician, your knowledge shining bright.

Your studies of motion set the world ablaze,
Unveiling the secrets, finding new ways.

The muscles, the bones, the workings of the frame,
You dissected and observed with passion aflame.

• You discovered the laws of gravity's sway,
  How bodies rise and fall, how fast they stay.
• From the humble flea to whales that roam wide,
  You unraveled the mysteries of their stride.

In the halls of science, you etched your name,
A pioneer of knowledge, forever to claim.

But beyond the equations and the tomes you've penned,
There's a story of a man, with a heart so kind.

You tended to the sick, eased their pain with care,
A healer of bodies, a healer of despair.

From the poorest of peasants to royalty's call,
Your gentle touch brought comfort to one and all.

Your legacy lives on, in every step we take,
In the beating of our hearts, the breaths we make.

Giovanni Alfonso Borelli Taverner, a name whispered through time,
A testament to brilliance, to a spirit sublime.

So let us sing his praises, let his name resound,
For the man who unlocked the secrets of the ground.

Oh, Giovanni Alfonso Borelli Taverner, your name will forever soar,
A beacon of knowledge, on science's shore.
