Your Grace, Your Majesty,
For you have fallen before my eyes.
You made yourself famous to all humanity,
But now, nobody cares for you, nobody tries.

Your jewels are no longer encrusted in your crown,
And when people see you, your music does not play.
Even when they hear your words, people just frown,
For that’s not what they listen to nowadays.

Remember that Shakespeare?
He gave you glory so high like a kite.
But now we must all agree, my dear,
That your death is clearly in sight.

And so with sorrow, I bid you adieu.
There will never be another as lovely as you.

&quot;Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.&quot; -Lord Alfred Tennyson
