Elizabeth's Discovery Poem by Fay Slimm

All amiss with much weeping
.................................. and locked away
Our heroine pined,
............................ but settling her mind
She knew her freedom
.................................. was but delayed.
Until he could come
......................... a truce she would find.

This Sire her father
...............................desired her to wed
Would assuredly know
............................... she was with child.
Perchance he was told,
......................... and this she then said
Would take place
..............if her pater remained so riled.

Had she discovered a way,
.......................................... did it remain
The only thing
....................staining her family name?
