Does Lorick #26 still bedevil you? Here it is again:

In a time ere the pyramids' rise,

I strode south, to its gold, and glib lies

Though by movie portrayed

chasing Doom with a blade

By my sword, I took kingdoms as prize!

Hint:

He was a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth.

Can you solve this lorick in time?
