Your Highness, <br /> <br />I have desired and cursed you in vain <br />unnerved by the dreams that murder the night, <br />I strike like a shark but what have I gained <br />my shadow profanes the absence of light. <br />Your burden I bear, you torched out my sight; <br />the regency's throne encrusted with jewels <br />on the arm you sit with eyes of disdain, <br />you were bred for that day, this is your right, <br />I am not of them, a scandalous tool <br />that acts the jester and dances the fool.<br /><br />Captain Cur<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/acts-the-jester-and-dances-the-fool/
