Sir Len And Lady Kym

'My husband knows me well I think –

And you can plainly tell my dear;

My stomach churns I cannot drink –

But 'tis through love and not from fear;

I have been happy times before –

But nothing like I feel today;

We have been blessed by God and law –

I feel complete in every way.'

'My love – my wife does speak it true –

I have to say that you are right;

That thing you say – I feel it too –

I feel so blessed with you tonight;

The King and Queen have honoured us –

They've treated us as family;

I know that we are sedulous –

But now I feel humility;

So come my bride and dance with me –

We'll move as one upon the floor;

I feel so wild and fancy free –

Please take my hand one I adore.'

'My love I need to ask you first –

What of the Queen in tears today?

I will not you my dear lambast –

But thought it strange in some small way;

I know she's treated us so well –

I could not ask for any more;

My bosom with great pride does swell –

But hear my thoughts you I implore;

I saw great sadness in her eyes –

There is no reason for this trait;

I know she does not us despise –

So why should she be in this state?

I caught a glimpse of good Sir Dave –

Whilst standing at the altar there;

Looked he at Bess like love-sick knave –

And she right back did firmly stare;

I think perhaps that he wished now –

To be in place of us this day;

Believe this true I know not how –

But love abounds in its strange way.';

'I think it wise to let this rest –

For kismet must decide this thing;

We do not want to try and best –

The thoughts and actions of the King;

I know that deep within his heart –

He loves the Queen but you must see;

That he does not mean now to start –

A love affair that must not be;

For he does treat the King as friend –

And not a rival suitor be;

It must not start to give it end –

He will not vex his Majesty.';

'These words you speak – they must be so –

But I have never heard them spoke;

Thank you for letting me now know--

My silence you need not invoke.'.
