“Penalise me not, I am chaste
I was a pawn not the king
I acted, but think I did not
Plot was his, me only a part.
Alas! Me could have been anyNone could have stopped
As I stand here, could have many
But for fate – that deceived
So penalize me not for its act
I am just a puppet of destiny.”
The court in its very silence
Seemed to hold the axe aloft
I turned wild in rage
An anger born of fear unknown
I screamed again at one and all
“Hey! All you men of mind
Stare not thus with no shame
What moral right you behold
To slay the weak man by strength.
My curse will endure me
And ye all shall suffer –
Do not kill me – I am INSANE”
