Imprecation On Henry Tudor, Styled Henry VIII, 1
Henry the eighth?---a first rate bastard too;
Henry the pervert (yes toward Katherine Howard):
for murdering both her and Ann Askew,
you should be damned to Hell, you churlish coward;
to torments roasting your soul through and through.
Henry Ex-Communicate
created his own religion
and protestantism was born
to create a mechanism
for divorces in multiples.
.
He married for love and estates
and wealth and prominence
but mostly in search of fertility.
.
Cursed or blessed, he gave
us Elizabeth, our joy and pride
and coins for poets.
.
Dante had Henry in mind
when he created
all those Hell levels.
.
~a~
oops - not supposed to be writing or posting
but H Tudor was nice as Rhys Meyers in the
series. :D
.
Thanks for that
Interesting interpretation, and I would question only the final reference to Dante. He died eighty years (minus two months, seventeen days) before Henry's birth.
