Written In Her French Psalter Poem by Queen Elizabeth I
Written In Her French Psalter
No crooked leg, no bleared eye,
No part deformed out of kind,
Nor yet so ugly half can be
As is the inward suspicious mind.
A bitter truth of human life expressed in simple terms. Loved reading the poem.
A perceptive perspective, but since she spent her life in courts of intrigue, having people wanting to kill her since she was a child, she would be well aware of the faculties and cruelties of mens nature. To my favorites!
Queen Elizabeth I rocks! This is an awesome truth put simply yet with a touch of intrigue! I have got to check out the rest of her poems here!
Truth is amazingly expressed in this brilliant poem. Simple words express the broader sense. An amazing sharing is done...10

Suspicious mind is worse than all deformities of mankind says the poet, it seems!
