FIRST William the Norman, Then William his son; Henry, Stephen, and Henry, Then Richard and John; Next Henry the third, Edwards, one, two, and three, And again after Richard Three Henrys we see. Two Edwards, third Richard, If rightly I guess; Two Henrys, sixth Edward, Queen Mary, Queen Bess. Then Jamie the Scotchman, Then Charles whom they slew, Yet received after Cromwell Another Charles too. Next James the second Ascended the throne; Then good William and Mary Together came on. Till Anne, Georges four, And fourth William all past, Came the reign of Victoria, Which longest did last. Then Edward the Peacemaker, He was her son, And the fifth of the Georges Was next in the run; Edward the Eighth Gave the crown to his brother, Now God's sent Elizabeth: All of us love her. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DEAR ELIZABETH: (FOR ELIZABETH DIFIORE) by KAREN SWENSON FORECLOSURE by STERLING ALLEN BROWN VISIONS: 4.
