Hid in an oak chest
.............................beside her table
Were papers she found
........................concerning her birth.
She had been snatched
.........................from a royal cradle.
Much foreign treasure
................ was what she was worth.
Secreted as hostage
................................until time came
To agitate, with bribes
...............................or threats of war,
Her rightful Father,
......................... this imposter again
Planned evil, which henceforth
........................would work no more.
With cape and bonnet
.................. she dressed with intent
To use this for freedom,
....................... but would he relent?
