Oh you usurper king Lord Bolingbroke
What did King Richard do to make you mad?
When you came from France across the old soak
To fight for Richard’s crown, you were all bad.
A Lancastrian born of the old stock
From the seed of John of Gaunt you lay claim;
You stole the crown of England, a great shock
And upon Richard’s head laid all the blame.
But uneasy lies the crown on your head
And behind your back you have to keep watch
Or you will end up like Richard – very dead
And the rumours that he lives you’ll have to scotch.
Will Shakespeare did write a wonderful play
That should be read by all, even today.
If all the year were playing holidays, To sport would be as tedious as to work; - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The above quote is just to add a touch of the play...your style of asking question reveals the way of the reader who gets engrossed in brilliantly styled text of the great Shakespeare, the sonnet bears the reader's stamp with his active emotional involvement in that world...so you have paid shakespeare in the same coin, i mean by writing a shakespearean sonnet...a studded work indeed!
