Queen Elizabeth I

A ll things are as it may, beckons a queendom of two faiths,

B orrowed Boleyn's "B" blue brocade the better choice made,

C ancer claims the spring, agrees with the passage of her sister,

D elves to part the heavens anew throne, amidst assassins, lurking

E ffervescent Elizabeth surrenders calmly a surreal destiny,

F orward justice by the will of grace, and a whimsical gestured cloaked puddle

G reat be her ascension not quiet to title claimed by Mary,

H eretics purged sweetly returns, catholicism stands down

I n a realm of stories a chapter freshens a protestant queen

J oyfulness echoes chambered walls, as a parley of power slithers

K ing bequeathed in a woman's dress, as a pence-less nation recovers

L ustrous gems befall righteously, as Spanish gold doubloons are pirated

M en neath ruffles maneuvering positions placates a capricious court

N orfolk his grace whose days are numbered for treason, pride begs none

O nly wisdom and loyalty keep heads secured, within a fickled court

P alace breeds a treacherous bedfellow, proffers an end worse than death

Q ueen banished him to seclusion as a fading insignificant consequence,

R ewards Drake, Raleigh and others from a grateful empire as her saviors

S aves her empire whilst arrogant Philip of Spain loses his in humility,

T enders Raleigh to his Virginia pretense in her name,

U nsettling execution of Mary Queen Of Scots, in harm's way, opens floodgates

V ersed in archery and horseback riding ascertains her birthright,

W ell endowed in the role of the sciences versus human endeavors,

X enial role model for women, mirrors removal tames loose tongues

Y ields to her title as the Virgin Queen, as her treasury is restored by the West

Z eal was her marriage to England, strengthen via the bogs of Ireland
