Nov 2017
the queen presided on a stately throne
other comers wouldst not usurp her seat*
they'd be promptly shown the horrible feat
ruthless was she in putting down their tone
the position held ne'er ceded away
her rein o'er lands perpetual of grasp
invaders not deposing the tight clasp
an eternal providence wouldst stay
fiercely guarding her territory for years
keeping the crown's banner flying steadfast
none taking an inheritance of birth
e'er staving off they who'd leave an arrears
the flag being hers on the firm lasting mast
*defending borders with a regent's girth
other comers wouldst not usurp her seat*
they'd be promptly shown the horrible feat
ruthless was she in putting down their tone
the position held ne'er ceded away
her rein o'er lands perpetual of grasp
invaders not deposing the tight clasp
an eternal providence wouldst stay
fiercely guarding her territory for years
keeping the crown's banner flying steadfast
none taking an inheritance of birth
e'er staving off they who'd leave an arrears
the flag being hers on the firm lasting mast
*defending borders with a regent's girth
