The Henriad
Battled lands, traitors afoot, beg his precis,
Highlights his ascent, forgiveness be his plea,
Openly nigh, wolves in a shepherd's court free,
~~I came, he naught knoweth,
Plagued by a war that his own heart desired naught,
Nonetheless, his kingdom he sees, so he fought,
Consumed was he, triumph freed, clarity brought,
~~I know naught he cometh,
Intervening moments taunts my attention,
Remedy this failure left in suspension,
Clear fog of time elapsed be my retention,
~~Deathblow, evil leaveth.
