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.
