Downfall of a Duke

I was a fool, yet I know this too late

I believed Richard was 'my other self'

Manipulated, I sealed my own fate

Now it is too late for me to find help

I did not take heed of Margaret's words

When she warned me against the rabid dog

I ignored the vice of that preying bird

Instead I allied myself with the hog

And now, as I'm marchéd towards my death

I reflect on the deeds which I have done

Regretting my actions with my last breath

In merely moments my soul will be gone

What I promised Edward was all a lie

God will have his revenge for now I die.
