The Dudleys
Copyright 2000, Michelle Iacona,
a short satire of Robert and Guilford Dudley (Tudor and Elizabethan Period England)
| |
"Two there were, and fair of face, Like sparrows in unconquered grace. The one for a lady lost his head, The other sought a loftier bed. Like cast-off toys, they mourned themselves, All dusty on their pretty shelves. What pretty fools these poor boys be-- All lovely looks and mental scarcity!" |
