Such visions as I dare recall

of final hours where I lacked skill

enough to lengthen or ease. All

my soul to see you so was ill.

Were you not one as state knew well?

One to give misery some hell

and just by standing more than tall,

no matter how the beck and call.

To see you stilled against your will,

I'd rather listen to your knell

though mighty oak be mineto fell.

To save your will I'd do it still.

What care I for cruel protocol?

You made me great when I was small.
