The last and the greatest of the Tudor dynasty,
Was more than a man, a woman with modesty.
She was the Queen of Ireland and England concurrently,
She inherited the throne at a time of much obscurity.
Independent and strong was she and never married,
All the love letters and proposals to her were left a buried.
For that, she was called the Virgin Queen,
And through the years, power and respect she burgeonly gleaned.
A religious compromise was made during her heir,
But not until later did this decision she realized, put her in despair.
A powerful Protestant was she but a powerful Catholic her cousin,
So the Queen beheaded Mary to keep her power a buzzin’.
Fighting the Spanish Armada was one of her greatest accomplishments.
Of which got her many, many a compliments.
The Elizabethan Age was full of success and innovations,
But soon the Queen’s compromise of religion made her people impatient.
The Queen’s last years were not very pretty,
They were filled with years of sadness, famine, smallpox and much pity.
The death of the Countess of Nottingham saddened the queen to depression,
With sickness filled in her she was ready to go to her next dimension.
