They Praise For Her Elegance a Queen
They praise for her elegance a queen:
She was very kind
And loved art.
Attended the theaters
Where great actors acted
Who were the great playwrights too.
Call her era The Golden Age
And title her truly The Virgin Queen.
And, for her Looks
That old king’s wife,
Eloped with the neighbor state’s prince
And for years
A war was fought for her fantastic face,
Thousand horses disabled
Hundred towers destroyed.
A woman known for her naked bath,
Seduced a Hebrew King, who
For her killed her husband.
And say, later their sin they wedded
And she bore him a great man.
And another woman they overly praise…
In another language was called ‘Peace’.
Albeit had danced
For a holy man’s head!
And when I on a lonely day sit
And compare,
I just s’cretly smile—a proud smile!
