Image for the poem The King

The King's Chambers

 
in her chambers a young virgin bleeds
her trousseau of linen grieves
the loss of her blush to bear, witness of the deed.

cruelty of favor rush
a lady in waiting
a gift to the King's service

keening a maiden's bloom taken to soon
a dowery to gain favor
the sin's of the Father had made them penniless
the debt to be paid in full by the young fair miss

the King robbing the cradle
traded to the castle to entertain at court
then when no longer desired, off with her head
