Broken-Hearted Helena
Our king was quite ill and almost dead.
I cured him and got him out of his bed.
My late father's knowledge saved the king's life.
The king wants Bertram to make me his wife.
This is a reward for my noble deed.
Bertram thinks I'm someone he doesn't need.
I love the king's ward, and I want him so,
but he acts like I'm one he doesn't know.
Based on the play "All's Well That Ends Well" by William Shakespeare
