It's really up to your interpretation, I'd just like to know what you think. |
As I sat beside my tallest walls And gazed upon my golden halls I saw thou woman who was both young and old Who’s anger festered and tongue was bold Thee cussed my name “O wretched king” "How dare thee feast what peasants bring” “Thy people slave for thy crown” “That rests thy head, thou greedy clown” And as thee shouted, cussed and swore I asked of thou “hush thy roar” But with swift reply thee said to me “Why dance to song that thee not sing” “I inquire thou what thou meant” “Thy people’s letter, thy message sent” And thee said to me and hinted fool “Pass golden walls where art thy rule” “For thou the king breathes thy air of thou” “And thy people’s anguish doth not help, not vow” “Thou a king to thou but alas not I” “For thy rule has not yet passed I by” Upon such words my kingdom shook My people mad had checked my rook There thou pawns of thy very king Took to arms and to doth, to sing “Thou king doth bed thy kings own first” “Than thou king doth eat till thee bursts” “Thou king doth drink a drunkard’s share” “Till thou king doth stumbled upon a dragon’s lair” My home was ruined and my people massed To flee or fight my greed doth clash To leave behind my beauty gold Or stand once more with speech so bold Once more thy people’s tongue did dance Thy woman spoke, thou piercing lance Thee asked of me my final words For thee asked of me what was my worth So my final words I doth make stern My final words like fire could burn I doth take my crown from atop my head And indeed doth sing my words to bed “My birth not blessed me a prodigy” “My life like all tis a comedy” “My heel doth not sit upon thou” “And with coward’s heart to please I bow” “My lips doth not abstain from cuss or lie” “My heart not pure and as all I doth die” “So doth ask me of my worth” “And I doth ask thee in return” |
